Bodyweight Poliquin Step

Bodyweight Poliquin Step

Positioning:

1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Keep your arms relaxed at your sides or place your hands on your hips.

3. Engage your core by gently tightening your abdomen.

Movement:

1. Step forward with your right foot, placing it flat on the ground.

2. As you step forward, bend both knees slightly so your body lowers a few inches.

3. Your left foot should lift off the ground, allowing your left knee to come toward your chest.

4. Hold this position for a moment, feeling the stretch in your right thigh and hip flexor.

5. Return your left foot to the starting position, then step back with your right foot to stand upright again.

6. Repeat the movement by stepping forward with your left foot, following the same bending and lifting motion.

7. Continue alternating legs for 10-15 repetitions on each side.

Tips:

• Maintain a straight back throughout the movement.

• Avoid leaning forward; keep your chest lifted.

• If you feel comfortable, you can increase the speed of the steps for a more dynamic workout.
