Natural Leg Extension

1. Begin kneeling on the floor with your feet and knees hip-width apart, shins parallel.
2. Sit upright, with your knees, hips, and shoulders stacked vertically.
3. Engage your glutes and core and lean back, bending purely from your knees.
4. Maintain a posterior pelvic tilt and straight knee-to-shoulder body line as your knee angle closes.
5. Lean back only as far as you can still pull back up with a straight body.
6. Full range of motion is getting your butt to your heels without piking at your hips.
7. Reach forward with your hands as you descend for a counter-balance.
