Stretching the right lower-body muscles and achieving a certain flexibility is
key. Any stretch that targets your hips, quads, or hamstrings will work, but
Salazar recommends these three below. Spread them out over at least 20 minutes—more
if you’re really out of practice, he says. And while you're at it, check out </span></div>

Get in the lunge position, one foot forward, knee bent, the foot behind you and
your shin on the ground. Slowly shift your weight forward and keep your arms at
your sides and your back straight; you should feel your hip muscles tightening.
Hold for 20-30 seconds. Repeat with the other leg.</span></div>

of you. Lift one leg up as straight as you can, reaching your fingers toward
your toes, until you feel your quads tighten. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then
repeat with the other leg.</span></div>

the way out on a chair or table. As you feel your hamstrings and hip muscles
tighten, hold for 20-30 seconds and then repeat on the other leg.</span></div>

Once your lower body feels bendy, slide your front foot forward, lean back, and
slowly lower yourself to the ground, using your hands for balance as you get
lower. Do it gradually to avoid injury; if you feel pain, stop and try the
split another time. Keep your hips squared and your toes straight. “Bruno’s
knee was pointing out during his SuperBowl splits, which helped him spring back
up quickly, but that’s a dancer’s trick, and you want to keep your knees
straight,” says Salazar.</span></div>
