World's Greatest Stretch

A full-body stretch to mobilize the hips, hamstrings, and spine.

It lives up to its name. This 3-part movement opens your hips, spine, and hamstrings in a single fluid series. Use it before lifting, running, or any sport to feel looser and more powerful.

Instructions

  1. Step into a deep lunge with one foot forward and your back leg extended.
  2. Lower your torso and place the elbow of your front-side arm near your foot.
  3. Hold for 10–20 seconds, then plant both hands on the floor.
  4. Raise the toes of your front foot and straighten the leg for a hamstring stretch.
  5. Switch sides and repeat.
