Kneeling Hip-Flexor Stretch

Kneeling Hip-Flexor Stretch


Kneel on right knee, with toes down, and place left foot flat on the floor in front of you, knee bent and aligned with ankle. Place hands on left thigh [shown].


Press hips forward until you feel tension in the front of your right thigh. Extend arms overhead, with elbows close to head and palms facing each other, and slightly arch your back while keeping your chin parallel to the ground. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch sides.



The repetitive activities (or inactivity) of your daily life can lead to muscle tension and tightness, especially in your neck, back, chest, hips, and hamstrings, so you should make it a point to stretch throughout the day. Stretching counteracts stiffness, corrects flexibility imbalances, and helps improve your range of motion, which will keep you healthier and more active in the long run. These 6 moves stretch your entire body: Hold each for at least 30 seconds.
