Fitness Tip: Twisted Deer for Runners
Posted Friday, September 15, 2017, at 11:18 PM

Targets: Quadratus Lumborum, a spine and hip stabilizer located in the lower part of the back
- Sit with your feet on the floor, mat width apart, dropping your knees to one side and creating a pinwheel shape with your legs
- Walk your hands away from your body and drop to your forearms.
Hold and Repeat on the other side.
Why: This pose internally and externally rotates the legs, which is a complimentary action to the constant hip flexion and extension that takes place while running.
