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: single leg stretches.
Hands up who finishes the work day with rounded shoulders, tight hips and a gurgling stomach? Us too. After leaning over your desk for hours, sitting in an uncomfortable chair and shovelling lunch in a 10-minute window between meetings, it’s no surprise. But you need to stretch all of that away for a comfortable evening.
This single-leg, knee-to-chest stretch is the answer. Not only will it elongate your crushed hips, but it will also help your digestion. Here’s how.
