1. Worlds Greatest Stretch:
One of my favorites.
Do a few reps of around 10-30 seconds on each side.

2. Hip Flexor/Quad Stretch
Put a pillow on the floor and your knee right on top.
You can put your back ankle on a couch instead of holding it to make it easier.
Hold it for around 30 seconds for 2-3 reps.
Especially important if you sit a lot.

3. Piriformis Stretch:
Ankle over knee, and pull on the other leg.
Hold for 30 seconds for a few reps.
Gentle on this one as it& #39;s usually tender on most people.

4. Deep squat holds.
One of the best things you can do for hip mobility.
Just sit in a deep squat and hold it for up to a minute.
If this is hard for you, it& #39;s a sign that you have work to do and should be doing everything in this thread.

5. Wall V
My favorite stretch, mostly because it& #39;s passive and I don& #39;t have to do any work.
Get a nice stretch going in the adductors.
Hold for 30-60 seconds.

Take 10-15 mins and give these all a try especially if you sit a lot for work.
You will start to notice a world of a difference in how you feel when you sit, walk, or exercise.

This is not medical advice.
Just a short flow I use a few times a week that I wanted to share!
Enjoy.
