How do you release tight hips?

Simultaneously, bring the other leg behind you and bend it at a 90-degree angle, resting your foot against the floor or on a cushion for support. This positioning ensures that both knees are bent at 90-degree angles.

With your back straight and shoulders relaxed, slowly lean forward from your hips. As you do so, you will feel a stretch in your hip flexors and glutes of the leg that is behind you.

Hold this position for at least 30 seconds, allowing your muscles to fully relax and stretch. You may find that you need to adjust your position slightly to feel the stretch in different areas of your hip.

Stretching your hips is a crucial aspect of maintaining flexibility and preventing injuries, especially for those who engage in physically demanding activities. One effective exercise for achieving this is the 90/90 hip stretch.

To perform this exercise, start by sitting on the floor with both legs extended in front of you. Then, bring one leg in front of your body and bend it at a 90-degree angle, keeping your foot flat on the ground.
