HIP STRETCHING  

First Method 

The hip stretching is done in standing posture. Stand straight and keep one of your legs in the sideward direction either left or right. Rotate your body towards the rotated foot and stay still. Keep the other leg straight. Keep one hand on the turned foot’s knee and keep the other hand on the back of your hip. Now gently push yourself forward by pressing on the back of your hip with your hands. The jerks should be short and smooth. The bounces you make must comfort your hip and abdomen region and must strain your back of thighs. Repeat the same procedure for the other side of the body as well. Remember to impart approximately the same amount of workout on both the sides of the body to get balanced. 

Second method 

Stand straight with legs slightly apart. Twist your body in the hip region and try to touch the side of the knee with your right ear. Do not bend your knees while doing this exercise. Push yourself with the arms while going down to touch your knee on the sides. Repeat the procedure for the other side as well.
