Towel Side Kneeling Straight-Leg Slide

• A smooth surface (like a wooden floor or tile)

1. Starting Position:

• Kneel on the floor with your knees hip-width apart.

• Place the towel under your right knee (if using a towel, keep the other knee on the floor).

• Position your hands on the floor in front of you, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

• Your back should be straight, and your core engaged.

2. Movement:

   • Slowly slide your right leg out to the side, keeping it straight and maintaining contact with the towel.

   • Ensure your body leans slightly forward as you extend your leg.

   • Pause for a moment at the end of the movement, feeling the stretch.

3. Returning to Start:

   • Bring your right leg back to the starting position, sliding it back under your body.

   • Keep your core tight to help stabilize your body.

4. Repetitions:

   • Perform 10-15 repetitions on your right leg.

   • Switch to the left leg and repeat the same movement.

5. Tips:

   • Focus on smooth, controlled movements to maintain balance.

   • Keep your head aligned with your spine.

   • If you feel any discomfort in your knees or back, take a break and adjust your form.

6. Breathing:

   • Inhale as you slide your leg out and exhale as you bring it back.

This exercise helps strengthen your core and hips while improving flexibility.
