How to do it

  1. 01

    Lie facedown on the floor.

  2. 02

    Put your left hand under your left hipbone to pad your hip and pubic bone.

  3. 03

    Bend your right knee so you can hold the foot in your right hand.

  4. 04

    Lift the foot in the air and simultaneously lift your shoulders off the floor. This also stretches the right hip flexor and the chest and shoulders. Switch sides. If it doesn't bother your back, you can try it with both arms and legs at the same time.

In the app

One Half Locust appears when you own the kit it needs and the day's window has room for it. Its minutes come from Rule 2 (Sessions are built to fit, never guaranteed, graded product): the window sets how long it runs, never the other way round.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have the kit it needs

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
