Hip Flexor Stretch Kneeling

Hip Flexor Stretch Kneeling

Instructions

01

Start off by sitting down on both knees and getting into a kneeling lunge position where one knee stays back on the floor and you step the other leg in front of you bending it at 90 degrees with your foot placed flat on the ground. Place one hand on your hip.

02

Tuck your pelvis inside, squeeze your glutes and abdominal muscles. Tilt your body slightly forward while keeping your upper body nice and tall.

03

Gently lunge forward until you feel a deep stretch across the front of your hip and thigh of your rear leg. You want to make sure that this forward lunging doesn't cause any back pain. If it does, slightly tilt your pelvis back and squeeze your glutes further.

04

Hold for a count of at least ten deep breaths.

05

Move back to the starting position.

06

Relax and repeat on the other side, doing at least 2 sets of 4.
