If you are a runner or a triathlete or just someone who has very tight hips, this is perfect for you. Hold each hip stretch for at least 1 minute. You'll feel it in your hip flexors, glutes, inner thighs, and hamstrings. Go slowly and breathe into the stretch.

The hip flexors are called "flexor" muscles because they flex the leg, decreasing the angle between the knee and the chest at the hip joint. For example, when bringing the knee up in a marching motion, the hip flexors activate and flex, pulling the bones of the thigh and the spine towards each other at the crease of the hip.
