Description: Lower body stretches for tight hips

Sit on the floor and bend one leg in front of your body with your hip rotated out. Position it so your lower leg and knee are resting on the ground. Your leg should form a 90-degree angle, and your ankle should be neutral so your foot is pointing straight.
Position your other leg beside you with your hip rotated inward and your shin and ankle on the ground. Bend your knee so your leg forms a 90-degree angle. Your back knee should be in line with your hip, and your ankle should be neutral.
Try to keep your back straight and resist the urge to bend to one side. Think about sitting into both hips equally and easing the lifted hip straight down toward the ground.
Hold this stretch for up to 60 seconds, breathing deeply to relax into the position. Complete 2–3 reps on each side. Completing this sequence just 2 times per week will help your hip mobility in just 1–2 months.

90/90 Hip Stretch

Sitting on the ground, place the bottom of your feet together and let your knees drop out to the sides. Press your knees gently down towards the ground for a deeper stretch in the groin/inner thighs.

Sitting Diamond stretch

Start laying on your back. Cross the right ankle over the left side just above the knee. Next reach around the left thigh crunching up to bring the left leg closer towards the chest. Hold this position for about 30 to 60 seconds before switching sides.

Supine figure 4 stretch

Start laying on your back then cross you’re right ankle on the left thigh, just above the knee. Next drop your legs towards the left side. Holding this stretch for 30 seconds then drop your legs to the right side and hold for 30 seconds. 
Bring your legs back to the center and switch legs repeating the same sequence on the other side.
