How to do a glute stretch

  1. Sit tall on a chair with both feet flat on the floor and hands resting on your thighs.
  2. Cross your right ankle over your left knee to create a figure-four position.
  3. Keep your back straight and gently hinge forward from your hips.
  4. Lean forward until you feel a stretch through your right glute and hip.
  5. Hold the stretch, then return upright and repeat on the other side.

Form tips

  • Keep your spine long and avoid rounding your lower back.
  • Hinge from the hips rather than collapsing the chest.
  • Keep the crossed ankle relaxed and flexed to protect the knee.
