Consult your physician before starting any diet and/or exercise plan.Position
Slowly straighten one leg out in front of you. Bend the other leg so the foot of the opposite leg is touching your inner thigh. This will give you balance as you bend forward.
Technique
Lean forward from your hips while keeping your back comfortably straight. Reach towards your toes to the point of comfortable tension. You should feel a light stretch on the underside of the extended leg. Hold the stretch for 15 to 20 seconds, then switch legs and repeat the stretch.
Tip
If you find this exercise difficult, loop a towel under the foot of your extended leg. Gently pull on the towel and use it for leverage.
