Hip Flexor Stretch (Kneeling)

How to do it

  1. Kneel on one knee with the other leg stepped forward at roughly 90 degrees.
  2. Tuck the pelvis under slightly and stack the ribcage directly over the hips before you move.
  3. Hold this alignment as you press the hips straight forward, avoiding any lean to one side.
  4. Press forward only until you feel a stretch along the front of the rear hip.
  5. Breathe slowly and hold the position for 20 to 30 seconds, keeping the pelvic tuck throughout.
  6. Rock back out of the stretch with control and switch legs.
