Purpose:
To teach alignment and flexibility of the feet and legs. To strengthen the upper leg and lower back. To loosen a tense leg.
Approach:
Put the leg to be exercised on a raised object, for instance a table or counter top. Bend forward almost as far as possible. Hold and let the leg stretch out. When bending forwards, look forward, not down. The supporting leg should be slightly flexed.
Notes:
This is a fine exercise. 1 to 50 bends is a good range.
