Our glute muscles are the largest (and one of the laziest!) muscles in our body. Weak, tight or lazy glutes affects our hip and pelvic position, which can lead to a number of injuries. It is important we keep our glutes strong and mobile. The lying glute stretch is a good place to start.

Start by lying down with your back flat on a gym mat or soft surface with both knees bent so your feet are planted on the ground. Bring your right foot over your left knee. Lift both legs off the ground and interlace your fingers around the back of your thigh. Pull your leg towards you until your feel a nice stretch into your glutes. If you need to deepen the stretch, use your elbow to gently push the knee out and act as a resistor. It is important you don't force the stretch to an uncomfortable position as this could cause injury. Relax and breathe into it. Hold for 20-30 seconds on each side.
