Stretches for tight hips


When it comes to stretching, make sure you warm up your muscles slightly (if you plan on deep stretching). Even a few arm circles will help.

You want to hold the stretches for 60-90s each making sure to breathe throughout the movement. This is different than performing things like thoracic spine exercises in which you're moving through the drill.

- Lift 1 bent leg up and back

Start laying on your back and bring the soles of the feet together, letting your knees gently fall out the sides. In this position, relax the pelvic floor and deep core muscles.
