Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Standing Front Leg Lift, Cross Toe Touches & Side Bend.
A dynamic standing mobility complex that strings together three movements: a front leg lift to warm up the hip flexors and hamstrings, a cross-body toe touch to stretch the posterior chain and obliques, and a lateral side bend to open the flanks. The sequence improves overall flexibility and coordination.
The Standing Front Leg Lift, Cross Toe Touches & Side Bend is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
