I tried this one simple stretch and it's completely changed the way I recover post-workout

A woman lies on her back performing a figure four stretch on an exercise mat. Her back in on the mat, her legs raised in the air with the knees bent and her left ankle crossed over her right knee. Her hands are clasped around her right thigh. .

I interview trainers regularly as part of my job. Often, when an exercise comes up repeatedly and is recommended by multiple experts, I’ll end up trying it for myself.

This is exactly what happened when three trainers mentioned the figure-four stretch to me in the space of a week: I had to see what all the fuss was about.
