Exercise Description

The yoga plex exercise builds hip flexor strength while stretching tight hips. It also works your core and shoulders for better posture and movement.

How To

1. Start in a high plank position with hands under shoulders and body in a straight line. 2. Step your right foot forward outside your right hand to enter the yoga plex position. 3. Hold this low lunge position while keeping your back leg straight and strong. 4. Keep your front knee over your ankle and sink your hips down to deepen the yoga plex stretch. 5. Hold for 30-60 seconds, then switch sides and repeat the yoga plex on your left leg.

Form Tips

• Keep your back leg straight and strong during the yoga plex to get the full hip flexor stretch. • Don't let your front knee cave inward - keep it tracking over your toes. • Keep your hands firmly planted and shoulders away from your ears in the yoga plex. • Breathe deeply and avoid holding your breath during the hold.

Common Mistakes

• Letting the back knee drop to the ground instead of keeping it lifted in the yoga plex position. • Placing the front foot too close to the hands, which limits the yoga plex stretch. • Rounding the shoulders or collapsing the chest instead of staying tall and open.
