Instructions & Biomechanical Cues
1. Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward. 2. Shift your weight to your right leg and lower your body into a squat, bending your right knee while keeping your left leg straight. 3. As you squat, push your hips back and keep your chest up, ensuring your right knee stays in line with your toes. 4. Hold the position briefly, feeling the stretch in your left inner thigh. 5. Push through your right heel to return to the starting position, then switch sides and repeat, alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions.",
