Sharpened Twisted Cobra

This exercise adds detail and difficulty (“sharpening”) to the Twisted Cobra exercise. It is performed to stretch a tight low back and hip flexor. In this case, the exerciser is stretching the left hip flexor in the cobra position rotated onto his left side (Twisted Cobra Left). He bends his right knee and plants his right foot on the floor to add elevation to his hip for increased drive. He pulses the pelvis toward the floor for 20 reps. It is recommended to do 3 sets daily.
