90/90 HIP SWITCH - WITH OR WITHOUT BLOCKS

Sets: 1

Reps: 16-20 (8-10 each side)

  • Start in a 90/90 position at the hips and knees. One hip is in external rotation, and the opposite is in internal rotation.

  • Hinge trunk forward to feel an external rotation stretch of the front hip and hold for a few moments.

  • Rotate the trunk towards the other leg to feel a stretch into internal rotation of the hip. It may not feel like a massive stretch (and may even feel a little pinchy - if so, back off a little).

  • Windshield wiper the knees and hips to the other side and repeat the same stretches here.

Modifications:

  • If it feels like you have to strain to switch legs, then use the blocks for upper body assist. Progress off of them as tolerated.
