Neglect mobility work, and injury is guaranteed—especially before big moves such as squats and deadlifts. The hips are key movers in both of those exercises and a whole bunch of others, which is why Don Saladino, owner of the Drive Clubs in New York City and a trainer to A-listers like Ryan Reynolds, urges you to give the 90/90 hip stretch a try before moving any weight. Here’s what you need to know.

Why Do It:


“It helps with hip mobility and promotes spinal extension,” Saladino explains.

How It Works:


“It stretches out your hips, and the upright position helps reinforce proper posture,” Saladino says.

How to Do It:

  1. Sit on the ground with both legs and hips forming a 90-degree angle, one leg in front and the other behind you.
  2. Keep your torso upright and hold position for 10 breaths. Don’t let your back round. Do 2 sets per side.

Form Tip: Lean into your lead leg. The farther you go, the deeper the stretch. Be sure to keep your back flat.
