Hip Flexor Stretch

A static stretch targeting the hip flexors performed from a kneeling lunge position to improve hip mobility and reduce tightness.

Instructions

1. Start in a tall kneeling position with one knee on the floor and one foot in front of you.
2. Slowly shift your hips forward, creating a stretch in the back leg’s hip flexor.
3. Keep your torso upright and core engaged.
4. You can place your hands on your front thigh for support.
5. Hold the stretch position for the desired duration.
6. Breathe steadily and relax into the stretch.
7. Switch legs and repeat on the other side.

Tips

• Move into the stretch slowly and avoid bouncing.
• Maintain an upright posture to maximize the stretch.
• You should feel a gentle stretch, not sharp pain.
• Hold each side for 20-30 seconds for optimal flexibility gains.
• Perform this stretch after workouts or as part of a mobility routine.
