bend the other leg to lunge down and to the side until you feel the tension in your straight leg.<\/p>\n<p>Your toes should face forward.<\/p>\n<p>Hold this side lunge stretch for at least 20 seconds

back down.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like, freeze the kick position for a second or two using your arms to hold your leg in place.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat a front kick with your opposite leg and alternate continuously.<\/p>\n<p>Next, do a similar exercise but lift your leg (keep it straight) out to the side of your body and back down, one leg at a time, in an alternating fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, kick backward by lifting your leg up and behind your body (keep your leg as straight as you can) and back down.<\/p>\n<p>Alternate right and left back kicks, continuously, at least 10

Leg Raises<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re familiar with leg raises, this exercise works on your flexibility in addition to toning your abdominal muscles.<\/p>\n<p>Begin by lying down on your back with your legs straight.<\/p>\n<p>Raise your legs off of the floor slightly and spread them apart as far as you can and back together, continuously, at least 10 times.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to, place your hands on your inner thighs and hold to create a deeper stretch each time you spread your legs apart.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat the stretch at least 1-2 more times.<\/p>\n<h3>T-Planks<\/h3>\n<p>T-Planks work your core and are excellent exercises for increasing flexibility in addition to strength.<\/p>\n<p>Begin in a plank position with your arms fully extended.<\/p>\n<p>Turn your body and lift one of your arms, aiming it straight up to the ceiling, until it&#8217;s perpendicular to the floor and forms a &#8220;T-shape&#8221; with the rest of your body.<\/p>\n<p>Hold the position for a second or two and return to a plank position.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat the stretch with your other arm and alternate between raising your right and left arms continuously at least 10 times.<\/p>\n<p>Take a break and complete another set or two.<\/p>\n<h3>Standing Hamstring Stretches<\/h3>\n<p>There are several ways to complete standing hamstring stretches.<\/p>\n<p>You might stand up with your legs straight and bend at your waist until your hands (or fingers) touch the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Hold this position for at least 20 seconds, stand up straight, and repeat the stretch at least 1-2 more times.<\/p>\n<p>You might also complete hamstring stretches, one leg at a time, while in a standing position.<\/p>\n<p>Place one leg out in front of your body (keep it straight).<\/p>\n<p>Bend the other leg to lower your body down until you feel the tension in your hamstring.<\/p>\n<p>Hold the stretch for at least 20 seconds and repeat.<\/p>\n<h3>Standing Straddle Stretch<\/h3>\n<p>To complete a standing straddle stretch for weight loss, keep your body in an upright position and lower yourself into a straddle position, as close to the ground as you can get.<\/p>\n<p>You might even be able to do the splits, especially after stretching on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t do the splits, simply lower your body as far as you can with your hands touching the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Your legs should form a V-shape with each other (unless you&#8217;re able to do the splits).<\/p>\n<p>Hold this stretch for at least 20 seconds, take a rest, and repeat straddle stretches at least 1-2 more times.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n  <div class=\"author-box-wrap auth5\">\n    <div class=\"thumb-wrap\">\n      <div class=\"author-img\"><img alt=''
