Hip Circles
Stand tall with your hands on your hips. Make big clockwise circles with your hips without lifting your feet front the ground. Turn 10 times clockwise and then switch direction to counter-clockwise.
Lunge Stretch
Put your hands on your hips and take a big step forward. Touch your back knee to the ground while keeping your torso tall. Push your hips forward until you feel a stretch through your back hip. Hold for three seconds and step forward on the opposite side. Repeat five times on each side.
Cat/Cow Stretch
Start on your hands and knees with your hands under your shoulders. Push your upper back toward the ceiling so that you feel a stretch through your upper back. Hold for three seconds and then push your upper back toward the floor. Hold for another three seconds. Repeat three times in each direction.
Front Leg Swings
Stand side-on to a wall and hold onto the wall for balance. Swing the leg that’s closest to the wall forward and back ten times. When swinging your leg, keep your core braced and your hips under you. Repeat on the opposite side.
Kneeling Hip Stretch
Start by kneeling on one knee. Put your hands on your hips and brace your core. Push your hips forward until you feel a gentle stretch. Bounce forward and back ten times, trying to go a little deeper each time. Repeat on the other side.
