How to Crossover Hip Stretch
Starting Position
The hands are gathered towards the chest and standing.
Proper Form
1. Slightly bend one knee and cross the opposite leg in front of it. 2. Straighten the back leg, bend the front leg, and lower your upper body downward. 3. Take the arm opposite to the front leg and bring it to the outside of the front leg, rotating your upper body. 4. Feel the stretch in the side of your hip joint and your hamstring. 5. Hold for 10–20 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when bending your upper body, and breathe naturally while maintaining the stretch.
Precautions
Make sure your knees do not bend excessively. Keep your back straight instead of rounding it. Do not use momentum and proceed slowly.
