  2. Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch
    Squeezing your back glutes, shift your body weight slightly forward while maintaining an upright torso. Reach around to grasp your foot with your free hand to increase the stretch. Hold for the prescribed time.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Avoid losing tension in your glutes. Keep contracting the muscle to force the hip flexors to relax.
  • Keep your free hand on your hip so as not to risk injuring the knee.
