Why is Stretching Important
Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight.

How do you Perform a Seated Hip Stretch
The hip stretch you described is commonly known as a seated figure-four stretch or a hip opener stretch. It can be very effective for stretching the hip muscles, especially the glutes and the external rotators of the hip. This stretch targets the hip joint, helping to improve flexibility and relieve tension in the hip area.
