Dynamic 90 90 Hip Twist Stretch · Preview

STEP 1

Setup

Sit with your knees bent and lean back slightly, hands behind your hips. Set your feet wider than your pelvis for side-to-side knee movement.

STEP 2

Start phase

Slowly guide both knees to one side, folding the front leg outward and the back leg inward. Feel your glutes stretch as the pelvis rotates.

STEP 3

End phase

Pause briefly, then bring the knees upright and move to the other side. Repeat slowly like windshield wipers.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Feel the outer glutes and inner thighs stretch in turn. It is normal for the stretching area to change from side to side.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

Swinging your torso or using momentum makes the lower back move first. If you feel pain, reduce the knee angle and slow down.

STEP 6

Breathing

Exhale as the knees move over and inhale through your nose as you reset. Matching breath to movement makes hip rotation smoother.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Start with a small range and gradually widen it as you get comfortable. Use it before lower-body training to open hip rotation range of motion.
