The Hippie
(Stretches hips and hamstrings)

From a standing position, bend forward at your waist, touching hands to the floor. Alternate bending one knee and keeping the other leg straight (but still keeping both feet flat), and let your relaxed head dangle down. Pretend your head weighs 500 pounds and is elongating your spine, releasing all your tension. Stretch each side for 15 seconds.
