Alternating Lying Straight-Leg Extension Stretch

Positioning:

1. Start by lying flat on your back on a comfortable surface, such as a yoga mat or soft flooring.
2. Keep your legs extended straight out and close together, with your arms resting at your sides.

Movement:

1. As you exhale, slowly raise one leg up towards the ceiling while keeping it straight.
2. Hold this position for a brief moment, feeling the stretch in your thigh.
3. Inhale and lower the leg back to the starting position.
4. Repeat the same movement with your other leg.
5. Alternate between your legs, performing 10-15 repetitions for each leg.
6. Focus on maintaining a controlled and steady movement throughout the exercise.

Tips:

- Keep your core engaged to support your lower back.
- Avoid arching your back or lifting it off the ground while performing the exercise.
- If you feel any discomfort, adjust the height of your leg lift or take a short break.
