Mobility Cheat Sheet
Hips
01
90/90 Hip Stretch
Sit with both legs bent at 90°, one in front and one behind. Stay tall, hinge forward over the front shin. Switch sides.
02
Pigeon Pose
From a plank, bring one knee forward toward the same-side wrist. Lower your hips, keep the back leg long. Fold forward for a deeper release.
03
Low Lunge (Crescent)
Step one foot forward into a lunge, drop the back knee to the floor. Drive hips forward and down. Raise arms overhead to intensify.
04
Butterfly Stretch
Sit with soles of feet together, knees falling outward. Hold your feet, sit tall, then gently press knees toward the floor using elbows.
Shoulders
05
Cross-Body Shoulder Pull
Bring one arm across your chest. Use the opposite forearm to gently press it closer. Keep your shoulder blades down, not shrugged.
06
Doorway Pec Stretch
Stand in a doorway, forearms on the frame at 90°. Step one foot forward and lean your chest through gently.
07
Sleeper Stretch
Lie on your side with your bottom arm at 90°. Use your top hand to gently press the bottom wrist toward the floor.
08
Thread the Needle
Start on all fours. Slide one arm under your body, palm up, until your shoulder and cheek rest on the floor. Keep the other arm pressing down.
Hamstrings
09
Standing Forward Fold
Stand with feet hip-width apart, hinge at the hips and let your torso hang down. Micro-bend the knees. Grab opposite elbows and sway gently.
10
Supine Single-Leg Pull
Lie on your back. Loop a strap or towel around one foot and extend the leg toward the ceiling. Keep the other leg flat. Pull gently without tucking the hips.
11
Seated Forward Fold
Sit with legs straight, flex your feet. Hinge from the hips — not the lower back — and reach toward your feet. Keep your spine long, not rounded.
12
Half-Split (Lizard Variant)
From a lunge, shift your weight back and straighten your front leg. Flex the foot, hinge forward over it. Keep hips square and back flat.
Tips
- Never bounce — hold steady and breathe into the stretch.
- Morning is ideal for gentle mobility work.
- Post-workout is best for deeper holds.
- Consistency beats intensity: 10 min daily beats 1 hr weekly.
