Benefit: Stretches your hip and glute while working stability

Coaching Points: Squeeze the glute of the knee that is down // Push only your hips forward, not your chest // Keep your head in a neutral position and your ears in line with your shoulders // Turn your head with your rotation // Keep the heel of the front leg flat on the ground
