Implementing the butterfly stretch to your everyday routine has a lot of benefits. It's beginner friendly and is effective with releasing tightness in your hips. It also enhances flexibility after working out, doing repetitive movements, or sitting for long periods. Give this stretch a try next time you feel tightness in your hips or back.
Instructions:
1️⃣ Sit tall on the floor with the soles of your feet together, knees bent out to the sides.
2️⃣ Hold onto your ankles or feet, engage your abs, & slowly lower your body toward your feet as far as you can while pressing your knees towards the floor.
3️⃣ If you're too tight to bend over, simply press your knees down gently.
4️⃣ Hold this stretch for 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
