Integrating the pigeon stretch into your fitness routine is a gesture your hips and glutes will appreciate. This dynamic mobility exercise targets mobility in your glute region and enhances the flexibility of these muscle groups, ultimately improving overall movement and functionality.
Begin in a plank position and move into a pigeon pose by bringing your right knee forward and straightening your left leg behind you. Next, place your hands on the floor in front of you and gently lower your chest to your knee. Repeat on the other side.
Perform two to three sets of 30 to 45-second holds per side with 60 seconds of rest between sets.
