The “Brettzel” Stretch – A great all in one stretch/mobility drill that a lot of us could benefit from!

Where do I start?

A1: Lay on your side, bring your top leg up (knee above hip joint) and hold knee down with hand.

A2: With your other hand reach back and grab your shoelaces on the other leg. Pull on your shoelace enough to feel a stretch in the front of your hip/leg.

A4: Breath out slowly as you bring your top shoulder toward the floor behind you. Keep your knee pushed into the floor the entire time. After 5-10 seconds return to A3 position and repeat this step 3-4 times before changing sides completely.
