The 90 To 90 Stretch is a dynamic flexibility exercise targeting the hip rotators and glutes. It involves transitioning between two seated positions, each with a 90-degree angle at the knees, to improve mobility and reduce tension in the hips.
exercise_detail.how_to_perform
- Sit on the floor with your legs bent in front of you.
- Position your right leg in front of you with a 90-degree bend at the knee, shin parallel to your torso.
- Place your left leg to the side, also bent at a 90-degree angle, with your shin perpendicular to your torso.
- Keep your back straight and chest up throughout the movement.
- Slowly rotate your hips to switch leg positions, bringing your left leg in front and right leg to the side, maintaining the 90-degree angles.
- Continue alternating sides in a controlled manner for the desired number of repetitions.
