The human body wasn't built to sit around! Fostering the right movement and it's development is crucial for long-term wellness and longevity.
Today’s lifestyle involves a lot of sitting. But sitting all day generates a lot of issues; it weakens our legs and gluteus, we gain weight, tighten our hips and back etc. And these issues only increase more with age.
The challenge is to adapt so we can stay mobile, strong & fit for the future and live our lifestyle. For the gluteus and hips we can use the 90/90 hip stretch. Here is how to perform that stretch.
90/90 Hip Stretch
To get into the 90/90 position, your right leg should be directly in front of you, bent to 90 degrees. Line it up with your heel. The left leg should be to the side also be bent to 90 degrees, with the heel lining up with the left leg.
When you’re in the position, extend your back. Try to get your belly button to hover over your knee. Lean forward keeping your chest up high. You’ll get a deep stretch in your right leg.
What you’re stretching here is the gluteus minimus muscle.
