The split-stance extension is a dynamic exercise that increases strength and balance through the core and lower body. The staggered stance will improve flexibility and mobility of the hip and hip joint.
Instructions
Stand in a shoulder-width stance with your arms at your sides. Step one leg behind you into a staggered stance, shifting your weight to the front leg. Bring your hands behind your head, allowing elbows to flare out. This is your starting position.
Hinge forward at the hips until your torso is about parallel with the ground. Hold and then returning to starting position.
Trainer’s Tips
Do not rest your weight on the back leg.
Do not let your elbows droop down.
Do not step back so far that you have to use the rear leg to bare weight.
