Mobilising the posterior hip

Mobilising the posterior hipOn all fours, position a stretching band around one quad, then place that foot in front of the opposite knee. Oscillate your hip against the band’s pull.
GOOD FOR: Loosening up a stiff hip capsule or making you more efficient whenever you are in hip flexion. Two or three rotations at 2mins per side.

Shoulder extension and external rotation

Place your hand through a stretching band and rotate your palm up. Grip the band and lean back, stretching your arm above your head and engaging the lat muscle.
GOOD FOR: Opening up shoulder joints, which are particularly tight among swimmers, climbers and lifters. Two or three rotations at 2mins per side.

Mobilising anterior hip

Place the stretching band around one quad’s hip crease and stretch that leg back, placing the knee on the ground and slowly rotating the hip forward.
GOOD FOR: Loosening up tight hip flexors, common among runners, cyclists, rowers and martial art kickers.

Dors flexion of ankle

Standing up, place stretching band just above the ankle and step forward with that leg. Move knee forward and oscillate outward. Repeat facing the other direction.
GOOD FOR: Ankle flexibility, which helps save tremendous energy for runners and kickers.

5-10 minute deep-squat

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and lower your hips to your ankles, making sure to keep your feet flat on the ground. Remain in that position for 5-10 minutes, moving slightly to stimulate circulation.
GOOD FOR:Increasing mobility in the ankles, knees, and hips.

Couch stretch

Start on all fours with your feet against the wall. Raise one leg so the shin and foot lie flat against the wall, then step the other leg forward, foot beneath you. Engage glutes, quads, and hip flexors by arching and relaxing your back.
GOOD FOR: Opening up the entire anterior muscle chain, allowing you to fully extend your hips, knees, and ankles.
