This gentle floor-based stretch is excellent for improving hip mobility and easing tension in your lower back. It’s simple, relaxing, and helpful after leg or glute training.
Instructions
- Lie flat on your back with your right leg extended straight.
- Bend your left knee and slowly bring it across your body toward the floor. Use your right hand to guide the stretch.
- Your left shoulder should remain on the floor as you rotate the torso gently. Your left arm can rest to the side, palm up.
- Allow your hips to relax as gravity deepens the stretch. Focus on feeling length through the spine and lower back.
- Hold the position for 20–30 seconds, breathing deeply, then switch sides.
