✨ Movement Monday: Seated Figure-Four Stretch ✨
Feeling tight through your glutes or hips? Give this gentle stretch a try! 🧘♀️
How to do it:
1. Sit upright in a sturdy chair with both feet flat on the floor.
2. Place your right ankle over your left thigh, just above your knee.
3. Keeping your spine straight, gently lean forward until you feel a stretch through your right glute.
4. Hold for 20–30 seconds.
5. Return to the starting position and repeat with the opposite leg.
💡 Why it helps: The seated figure-four stretch gently stretches the glutes and surrounding muscles, helping improve hip mobility and relieve feelings of tightness.
Remember, the stretch should feel gentle and comfortable, do not force the movement or push into pain.
Save this post and give it a try the next time your hips or glutes need a little extra mobility! 🙌
