Show Your Hips Some Love with These Stretches

8. Pretzel Stretch

Begin this peaceful stretch by lying on your left side. Draw the right knee toward your chest, and rotate until the knee is resting on the ground, with the thigh perpendicular to your torso. You can also rest the knee on a pillow or block. Bend your left knee to bring the foot behind you and grab it with your right hand. You can also use a strap to reach the foot if necessary. Allow your right shoulder to twist carefully toward the ground, away from the right knee. This will stretch both your hips and torso.

Hold for 30 seconds, relax, and repeat on the other side.
