Part 5/6:
Low Lunges for Hip and Back Stretching
Following the side planks, participants step into a low lunge. Dean encourages individuals to maintain slight pressure in the back knee to avoid collapsing and to elevate the arms while stretching through the chest and hips. This movement helps relieve tension in the back and opens up the body.
Standing Forward Bends
The routine progresses with a series of standing and bending motions, including alternating lateral stretches that engage the core and stimulate movement through the ribcage. Participants are motivated to explore their depth in each curve while remaining mindful of their body’s comfort levels.
