Flexibility exercise

Scorpion Stretch

How to do it

Lie face down on a mat with the arms extended out to the sides at shoulder height, palms down.
Bend one knee and lift that foot off the mat, rotating the hip to reach the foot across the body toward the opposite hand.
Let the pelvis and lower back rotate with the movement while keeping the chest and shoulders flat on the mat.
Feel a stretch through the hip, lower back, and front of the thigh of the lifted leg while breathing evenly through the rotation.
Hold the position for 20 to 30 seconds once the foot reaches its furthest comfortable point.
Rotate the hip back to center, lower the foot to the mat, and repeat on the opposite side.
