Answer 2

were they sitting down? not sure of the name for this stretch but your left arm is suppose to be reaching for your right leg when the right leg is out and the left one is in. it stretches your hamstrings (which is the back of your thigh) and i think your back. so basically, opposite arm reaches for opposite leg. some people use variations tho and just reach with same arm to same leg or turn a little and use opposite arm over their head to reach for opposite leg. good luck!
