Big miles leadto tense hips and back muscles. Hip openers release tension by loosening the leg joints (knees and hips) and restoring full range of motion.
Lie on your back with the soles of your feet together so your knees splay out. Reach your arms overhead and grab your elbows to gently release your shoulders. Vary intensity by moving your feet closer or farther from your groin. Hold 5-7 minutes, breathing deeply.
