How to Do Hip and Knee Warm-up Stretches

One of the best things that you can do for your body is to properly stretch before and after every workout session. Learning how to do hip and knee warm-up stretches isn't very complicated; all you need is a comfortable place to stretch out and a little bit of time. Once you know how, you can do hip and knee warm-up stretches for your next workout.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Find a comfortable spot. Although you're stretching, you don't have to suffer. Find a soft rug or even a bed to do these kinds of stretches. You should have plenty of room to move around, so make sure that you can swing your arms and legs in all directions, wherever you're stretching.

2. Keep it gentle. Begin by lying flat on your back and slowly pulling your knee up to your chest. Go as far as you're comfortable, and then take hold of your leg and gently pull it a bit closer to your chest. Be careful not to bounce your leg during this process; it should just be a nice stretching action.

3. Follow up by doing the same routine with the opposite leg.

4. Rotate your hip for another variation. First, pull your leg up to your chest, and then rotate the hip to the outside. This will help you get a good stretch in both the knee and the hip areas. Try to do several repetitions of this stretch before beginning your workout.
