I added the figure-4 stretch to my mobility routine — here's what happened to my hips and glutes

Being a fitness writer is a great gig that allows me to fill my time trying out new gear and workouts on the job, but although it's an active role, I still spend a lot of my time sitting behind a laptop screen writing. As a result, I'm not as nimble as you may think and have to keep up with my mobility to stave off tight hips and muscles.

While I make time for full routines like a 15-minute yoga flow, I more often than not only manage to do the odd stretch first thing in the morning or during short screen breaks during the work day.
