90/90 Hip Stretch

 

This is one of my favorite hip stretches.  Strong mobile hips are key for moving well and preventing injury.
 
  • Position your front and back leg into a 90 degree angel.
  • Sit tall and bend forward at your hip toward your front leg or just to the outside of it.  Isometrically, press your knee and ankle into the floor.
  • Hold for 15-30 seconds
  • Now lean back toward the back leg with a straight back while isometrically pressing the back ankle and knee into the floor
  • Hold for 15-30 seconds
