I wanted to apologize for not starting all this hip stuff sooner...October has been a crazy month and I will definitely be continuing this into November! Another reason it's taken so long is that I really want to demonstrate certain moves that Google hasn't satisfactorily found for me. Expect those later!
So the first really great and super easy stretch is simply the bridge...
How to: lie on the floor with your feet hip width apart and knees bent. Place your hands by your sides, or alternatively, under your back in a fist, with your shoulder blades rolling inwards. Raise your hips until you feel a comfortable stretch (generally when you create a flat plane from your core to knees). Hold for 30 seconds, and repeat until you feel like you've had a satisfactory stretch!
A plus: this move helps tone your glutes while stretching out your hip flexors.
Happy stretching!
