Exercise Description

The dynamic pigeon exercise opens tight hip flexors and improves hip mobility. It helps reduce lower back pain and increases range of motion for better movement.

How To

1. Start in a high plank position with hands under shoulders and body straight. 2. Bring your right knee toward your right elbow, then step the foot outside your right hand for dynamic pigeon. 3. Lower your hips toward the ground while keeping your back leg straight and chest up. 4. Hold for 2-3 seconds, then return to plank position smoothly. 5. Repeat dynamic pigeon on the left side, alternating for 8-12 reps per side.

Form Tips

• Keep your front shin as parallel to your body as possible during the dynamic pigeon stretch. • Don't let your hips sag - maintain tension in your core throughout the movement. • Focus on pushing your hips down and forward for a deeper dynamic pigeon stretch. • Keep your back leg straight and strong to get the full benefit.

Common Mistakes

• Rushing through the movement instead of holding each dynamic pigeon position. • Letting the back knee touch the ground, which reduces the stretch. • Collapsing the chest forward rather than keeping it tall during dynamic pigeon.
