And today, we&#8217;re going to show you just a spin-off of the basic figure for a hip stretch or pigeon stretch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But with this particular movement, we&#8217;re showing how to make it just a little bit easier, especially if you have really tight hips, and you use the leverage of the wall to help you. This prevents you from having to crank or pull on your leg or your knee, potentially making it a little bit more uncomfortable. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading]PLAY VIDEO \u2b07\ufe0e[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h-mKHQG4yEQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Stretch Your Hips Better<\/span>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are going to start by having both my legs up against the wall, the leg that I am choosing to stretch on, I&#8217;m going to bend and I&#8217;m going to put it across the other leg<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m going to start to slide the other foot down the wall.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should feel a nice deep stretch in the glutes\/butt\u00a0 Now what&#8217;s great here too, is now my foot driving, not driving, but pretty much posting up against the wall, I can just rest here.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relax and breathe, and sit deeper and deeper into that stretch.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, if you push too hard, you&#8217;re only going to tense up and make it worse. As that starts to release a little bit more you can slide the foot down deepens the stretch. And you can also play around with very gently leaning into your knee or changing that kind of torque and leverage position to hit different parts of that glute complex or fibers around the hip. Again, we&#8217;re looking for holding for anywhere upwards 30 seconds to two minutes depending on how tight you are. And depending on again what you can tolerate as always sliding over.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Should You Do After You Stretch?<\/span>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important that after you go through any sort of stretching exercise or program, move afterward, don&#8217;t go back and sit down, utilize what you just created by maybe doing some squats, maybe doing some hip hinges, maybe going for a walk or maybe even doing some lunges, but you have to move and you have to show your body what that new range of motion can and should be able to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep up the great work and Live LOUD!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share below with a friend or loved one!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][uncode_share layout=&#8221;multiple&#8221; bigger=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_color=&#8221;color-nhtu&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84677,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[75,74,73],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-84700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fitness","category-rehab-pain-injury-recovery","category-sports-chiropractic"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2.png?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84700"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84700\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":84702,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84700\/revisions\/84702"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
