Stretching your glutes is especially important after a hard track or hill session. This move works the hips as well, says Lexie Williamson

Start on all fours, sink your hips and step your right foot forward near your hands.

Relax your back foot.

Move your right foot slightly out to the right.

Place your right hand inside your foot and really focus on sinking those hips.

Feel a strong stretch in your hips and groin.

To strengthen the stretch, lower your forearms.

Repeat on the other side.
