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.

• Focus on maintaining a straight back and upright posture to maximize hip engagement.
• Move slowly and deliberately to ensure proper form and avoid unnecessary strain.

• Engage your core muscles to stabilize your torso during the transitions.
• Perform this stretch as part of your warm-up or cool-down routine to enhance hip mobility.
