Assume a seated position with a slight backward lean - knees bent and feet about 12 inches off the floor – a V position. With a light dumbbell gripped at the ends by both hands & held close to the chest, rotate to the left and right – your head following the torso rotation – then press the dumbbell up in an incline motion. Try 5-6 rotations & presses. Lower the feet. Move into a supine bridge position with or without the dumbbell across the hips (lower ab area). Perform 3-5 bridges to stretch the hip flexors.
