These stretches/warmup is GREAT for hip flexors. If you are feeling tight in your hips you should try these or use these as a warm up for leg day as well! 

** please consult a physical therapist if you are experiencing true hip pain.

- With one foot propped forward, turn out your front foot opening your hips
- Place your arm on the inside of your front leg reaching for your leg
