If you include Yogasana of Lips in your daily routine, then you can live a refreshing and stress-free life. In such a situation, today we are going to tell you some easy exercises for the hips, with the help of which you can remove the stiffness and restlessness of the body, so let us know which are the hip exercises…..
Hip flexor stretch
For this, by kneeling on one knee and keeping the other leg in front, make an angle of 90 degrees. Engage your core and gently push your hips forward until you feel a stretch in the front of the hip of the kneeling leg. Hold it for 20-30 seconds and then switch sides. This exercise helps to relieve tension in the hip flexors, which is caused due to prolonged sitting.
Pigeon pose
For this, you start in the tabletop position, then bring one knee forward and place it behind the wrist of the same side. Extend the other leg straight back, pointing the foot away from the body. Slowly lower your upper body towards the floor. Do a deep stretch by extending your arms forward. This pose strengthens the hip rotators and glute muscles, releases tension, and increases hip flexibility.
Glute Bridge
For this, you lie down on your back with your knees bent and feet hip-width apart. Engage your glutes and core muscles as you lift your hips off the ground, creating a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Stay in this position for 2-3 seconds, then slowly lower your hips back down. Then you repeat it 10-12 times. The glute bridge exercise is effective in strengthening the glute muscles, which occur in the hip and lower back due to prolonged sitting.
Butterfly Stretch
For this, position yourself by sitting on the floor and bringing the soles of your feet together, so that your knees naturally drop outwards. Use your hands to gently squeeze your thighs, feeling the stretch in your inner thighs and hips. Maintain an upright position and hold it for 30 seconds to one minute. The butterfly stretch improves hip mobility, relieves tension in the groin area, and promotes relaxation.
