HIPS
HACK #1
PIGEON
MOVEMENT LEVEL Intermediate.
WHY WE LIKE IT This is an excellent hip opener with the added benefit of being great for the knees.
AM I DOING IT RIGHT? You should be feeling the stretch in your buttocks and hip flexors area.
SIDEKICK TIP Try to get your torso as low to the ground as you can in order to benefit the most
from the stretch.
HACK #2
90 90 HIP ROTATION
MOVEMENT LEVEL Advanced
WHY WE LIKE IT This great movement helps to improve the internal and external rotation of the hips.
AM I DOING IT RIGHT? When performed properly, a deep stretch should be felt in the lead leg. Specifically
the gluteus minimus muscle, piriformis, and external rotators.
SIDEKICK TIP Take 5 deep breaths during each rep to really reap the benefits.
HACK #3
COUCH STRETCH
MOVEMENT LEVEL Intermediate
WHY WE LIKE IT The couch stretch is a brutally efficient hip opener developed by Kelly Starrett.
AM I DOING IT RIGHT? You should feel this stretch from your hip flexor all the way down to your knee.
SIDEKICK TIP Put a plate under your lead foot to make this stretch more challenging.
HACK #4
SIDE HIP SMASH
MOVEMENT LEVEL Beginner
WHY WE LIKE IT Like most smash exercises, this one is pretty intense and really un-glues the fascia.
AM I DOING IT RIGHT? If you are you finding the tight spots and find yourself breathing through t
he pain then yes.
SIDEKICK TIP Do not forget to breathe!
HACK #5
HALF KNEELING CLOCK OPENER
MOVEMENT LEVEL Intermediate
WHY WE LIKE IT A favorite of our CEO, this stretch works the hips through different angles of motion.
AM I DOING IT RIGHT? You should be feeling this stretch through the front of your hips, with slight
variations based on the angle you are working.
SIDEKICK TIP Ensure you lean forward into the front leg, while stabilizing your core in order to
maximize the benefit.
