This isn't really a health tip, but it you want to get more flexibility, you came to the right place!

Step one) Warm up.
Warming up is important so you don't pull anything, or get injured. You can do this by doing 10 lunge kicks or by running around like a frikkin maniac.

Step two) elevated lunge hold w/ elbows down
So, you want to get into a lunge where your back foot is elevated. (usually your least flexible leg is your back leg.) You want to have your elbows on the ground. It hurts, but its worth it. (Hold this for 15 seconds c:)

Step three) Flat leg lunge
With this stretch, you want to do what you just did, but with your back leg flat. Don't have your elbows on the ground and have your torso up. Push your legs as close to the ground as you can.
(Hold for 15 seconds)

Step four) fish hook lunge
Okay, so you want to do exactly what you just did, but with your back leg up. It will look like a square without a top line.

Its getting late and I have gymnastics class today, so if you want to see the rest of these stretches, click this video here

(She is one of my inspirations. Please don't let her flexibility intimidate you into not doing these stretches!)

Bye!
