Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: 90/90 stretches.
The combination of a solid running routine and a desk-bound job can wreak havoc on your hips and glutes. By constantly contracting the muscles during high impact work or for extended periods of time, they end up shortening and tightening.
Not only does that cause discomfort, but it can have implications in the rest of your workouts too: poor hip mobility means you can’t squat as low, kick as high or run as fast. The answer lies in hip opening and elongating stretches.
