hip stretch
Joint flexibility exercise
A hip stretch is any exercise that lengthens or loosens the muscles around the hip joint—particularly the hip flexors, glutes, and piriformis.
Common examples include the pigeon pose and lunging stretches.
I do a few hip stretches before running to prevent tightness.
