ATG Split Squat Pulse: Lengthen your hip flexors with this exercise. You can use stairs, a bench, a chair, or anything stable to elevate your front foot.
Elephant Walks: This exercise helps open everything up behind your hips. Keep your hands higher for a more challenging and intense stretch.
Pigeon Push-Up: Open your outer hips with this pigeon or chest-to-thigh exercise by keeping your hands for assistance as shown in the video.
Standing Pancake: Open your inner thigh with this exercise. Here, you can pulse in and out of the bottom position to make it more effective and challenging.
Wall Groin Stretch: It’s a gentle exercise for your inner thighs where gravity does the work. Relax and take deep belly breaths while practising the exercise.
Wall/DB Pullover: This simple exercise helps open up your thoracic spine, striking the negative effects of long hours of sitting.
While practising these exercises can bring effective health benefits, it’s essential to consult with health experts in case of serious health issues.
