Move of the week: wake up your hips and back with this dynamic stretch
By Chloe Gray
3 years ago
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: deep squat to forward fold.
If you, like us, have so far spent most of your long weekend sitting (in the pub, the park or on your bike) then it’s time to shake off those tight hips and backs.
It’s especially important to undo the compression of sitting before jumping into a workout, but even if your plans are to remain horizontal then wakening up the muscles will still help alleviate stiffness and pain.
This dynamic, posterior chain stretching move is the best way to do just that.
