Hipflexor & Oblique Stretch
Key Points:
- Tilt your pelvis posteriorly, this will encourage greater stretch through the hip flexors
- Keeping an upright posture, push your hips forward into hip extension to get a solid stretch
- Open up and stretch your opposite arm to your front leg and lean to the side, stretching your obliques too
Common Mistakes:
- No posterior pelvic tilt
- Collapsing through the hips by trying to stretch too much
- Losing shape when trying to stretch through your side
