Kneeling hip flexor stretch
Kneeling hip flexor stretch is a beginner-friendly mobility movement that trains hip_flexors, quads, done with no equipment. It's an isolation-style movement — useful for targeted work once the bigger compound lifts are done. Typical rep range is 30–60 reps, tempo hold.
The most common mistake is arching the lower back instead of tucking the pelvis. If no equipment or the movement itself doesn't suit you, World's greatest stretch or 90/90 hip stretch or Deep squat hold (malasana) or Hamstring stretch cover the same pattern. It's usually held back for knee issues — a coach or the substitution list is the safer route on a flare-up.
