How to do it

  1. 01

    Begin in a seated, upright position. Start by extending your legs in front of you in a V.

  2. 02

    With your hands on the floor, lean forward as far as possible. Hold for 10 to 20 seconds.

In the app

The Straddle needs no kit, so it appears whenever 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.

Same pattern, with kit

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