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.
