(2) Child’s Pose Breathing:-
Get into a child’s pose and round the entire length of your spine. Inhale through your nose and expand your diaphragm. Focus on pushing your stomach into the thighs. Exhale all the air from your lungs, hold for a second, and inhale again. Do this for eight breaths.
(3) Hip Flexor Stretch:-
Get to one knee and place your feet inline. Now bring the rear foot on top of a bench behind you. Squeeze the glute of this leg and your hip forward. You should feel a deep stretch through the front of your hips and quads. Do this for 30 seconds and switch sides.
(4) Hip Bridge:-
Lie on your back and bend your knees about 90-degrees. Squeeze your glutes, drive through your heels, and lift your hips. Avoid using your hamstrings or lower back. Your heels should be on the floor all the time. Do 10 reps of this.
(5) Wall Slides:-
Stand with your head and shoulders against a wall. Press your forearms against it. There shouldn’t be any space between your body and the wall. Squeeze your glutes and press your lower back against the wall while you slide your forearms up and down the wall. Do 10 reps.
(6) Wall Ankle Mobilization:-
Stand as you face the wall and place one foot a few inches away from the wall. Keep your heel on the ground and drive it over your middle three toes and touch the wall. Adjust the distance your foot is from the wall so that you get a good stretch in your ankles, avoid lifting your heel, and still touch the wall with your knee. Do 10 reps.

Stand up, switch sides and do 6 reps on each side.
(8) Bear Crawl:-
Get down on all fours so that your knees are under your hips. Place your knees an inch above the ground. Take a small step with your right arm and left leg and crawl forward. Repeat with alternate limbs. Keep your hips low, head up, and crawl 15 yards.
(9) Turkish Get up:-
Lie on the ground with right knee bent, right foot flat on the floor, right arm holding a weight above you, and left arm and left leg at your side. Drive through right foot and straighten left arm, using it as a post to drive hips straight up. Pull left leg underneath and behind the body, move torso straight up, then lunge to a stand. Reverse the sequence to descend. Do three reps on one side. Repeat on another side. Keep chest up and watch the weight the entire time.
