How to do the front split stretch

Instructions for front split:

Start from a kneeling position with an upright torso.
Extend your front foot forward so your leg is straight and resting on your front heel.
With your back toes pointed out and the top of your back foot on the floor, draw your back foot backward and glide the front foot forward while easing your hips toward the mat.
