Lying Hip Rotations
Your hips provide you with the support and stability required for effortless performance from your legs. By increasing the mobility of your hips, you can face down all kinds of challenging hiking trails and even stay more comfortable while sitting at your desk. So, to do exactly that, try out this Lying Hip Rotations exercise.
Here are the steps:
• Lie down on your back on top of an exercise mat. Then, bend both your knees and place your feet flat on your mat.
• Place your right ankle against your left knee so that your right leg forms a triangle shape. Next, rotate your hip in and out until you feel a pull in your hip.
• Once you feel a stretch, press your hand against your knee for about thirty seconds. Place your foot back on the floor and repeat the same exercise on the opposite leg.
Butterfly Stretch
When you think of Spring, butterflies come to mind. But these butterfly exercises can keep a spring in your step all year. The key to getting some pep in your step is to properly stretch those groin muscles and hip flexors. Luckily, this Butterfly Stretch serves up the benefits of both!
Here are the steps:
• Start off by sitting up straight on the ground with the soles of your feet pressed together and your knees pointing out to either side.
• After you’ve assumed that position, slide the heels of your feet in toward your body to increase the intensity of the stretch. Maintain this pose for anywhere from thirty seconds to two minutes, depending on your flexibility.
