This dynamic move targets your hip flexors, groin, hamstrings, and core perfect for athletes, desk warriors, or anyone who’s been sitting too long. Think of it as a “reset button” for your lower body, helping you move smoother, run faster, and even sit cross-legged without groaning. Plus, it’ll make you feel like a superhero (cape optional). 😉

✔ Breathe deep your muscles love oxygen more than Peter Parker loves web-slinging.
✔ Because symmetry is key (even for superheroes)..

🚫 Skip if: You have knee, hip, or lower back injuries (check with your doc first!).

⚠️ Common Mistakes (and How to Fix Them!)
🦵 Knee caving in? Align it with toes like train tracks!
🍑 Hips too high? Sink low like sitting on a web hammock!
