Relieve stiff hips in less than five minutes with this Pilates expert’s three stretches

Woman performing figure four stretch, lying on an exercise mat with her left ankle on her right knee, pulling the right knee towards her.

Because I write for a website, I spend most of my time at my desk, but working for Fit&Well has also taught me the value of stretching my hips after a long day of sitting.

When we spend too long seated, the hip flexor muscles can shorten, making them feel tight and stiff. The best way to combat this is through regular stretching and hip-strengthening exercises. Consistent stretching can increase flexibility and range of motion, reduce joint stiffness, and make everyday tasks feel easier.
