Horse stance + sumo GM is a hip mobility exercise. It combines active straddle with hip flexion to open the hips and lengthen the posterior chain.
Cues:
- Heel to toe four times to acquire foot position for horse stance
- Keep feet pointing forward unless there is pain
- If there is pain allow feet to turn out enough to work around it
- Maintain straight back as you hinge to sumo good morning
- Bring hips further forward with each return to horse stance
Mistakes:
- Leaning forward in horse
- Rounding low back at any time
- Losing tension in the hips and legs as you shift between positions
