Kneeling hip flexor stretch is a simple yet highly effective exercise that increases hip mobility, improves posture, and reduces tension in the lower back. The exercise is especially recommended for people who sit a lot or perform strength exercises involving the legs and glutes.

<h2>Which muscles work during hip stretching?</h2>

<strong>Main muscles stretched:</strong>
* iliopsoas  
* rectus femoris (front of the thigh)

<strong>Auxiliary and stabilizing muscles:</strong>
* gluteus maximus (of the rear leg)  
* abdominal muscles and spinal erectors (torso stabilization)

<h2>Proper technique</h2>

<strong>Starting position:</strong>
1. Kneel on your right knee.  
2. Keep your back straight and engage your core.  
3. Place your left leg far in front, foot stable on the ground.  
4. Rest your hands on your left thigh or hips.  
5. Keep your back straight and the glute of the rear leg engaged.

<strong>Movement:</strong>
1. Slowly push your hips forward, ensuring the right hip does not move backward.  
2. Stop when you feel a stretch in the front of the right hip.  
3. Tighten the right glute to increase stability.

<strong>Breathing:</strong>
* Breathe calmly, do not hold your breath.  
* Inhale while setting the position, exhale while deepening the stretch.

<h2>Common mistakes</h2>

* The rear hip moves backward during the stretch.  
* Rounding the back or pushing the chest forward.  
* Front knee extends beyond the foot.  
* Rear glute is not engaged, reducing stability.  
* Pushing hips forward too quickly or forcefully.

<strong>Tips</strong>
* Front knee should be directly above the foot.  
* Back straight, core engaged.  
* Rear glute strongly engaged for better stabilization.  
* Perform the movement slowly, controlling the alignment of hips and torso.

<h2>Which training to combine with hip stretching?</h2>

This exercise works well as part of:  
* warm-ups before strength or functional training  
* mobility and core stabilization routines  
* lower body workouts  
* programs aimed at improving posture and reducing hip tension
