Lie flat on your back Bring both of your knees up towards your chest to form a right angle with each leg  Bring both arms straight into the air in line with your shoulders  Slowly straighten one leg, whilst keeping the other in the 90 degree position  At the same time, slowly move the opposite arm to the leg you have chosen backward over your head whilst maintaining this straight position - but do not put your leg on the floor, only hover Bring both the straightened leg and arm back to your original position  Switch over to move the other leg and other arm  Bring them back to the neutral starting position  Repeat  

Get into pairs  One player will be the worker, who will do the movement, the other will be the one who pushes  Get the worker to stand in front of their partner  The worker will bend their knees and use their arms to jump up straight in the air  Whilst in the air, their partner will gently push them forward  The worker must land their jump balanced and bend their knees to absorb the impact  The worker will then step back into the original position and repeat  Make sure the worker and pusher switch roles

Start lying on your back with both legs bent and feet flat on the floor  Cross your arms over your chest Straighten one leg from the knee so that it is now raised from the ground and at about a 45 degree angle Push your hips up using your bent leg, whilst keeping the straight leg in the air  Tense your glutes as you raise your hips Pause at the top  Slowly return to the ground and go up again

With a foam roller, lie on your front in a front plank position, with your forearms on the ground Place the roller under one hip and with this leg extended  Bend the free leg (leg with no foam roller) up to form a near right angle to use as an anchor  Using the anchored leg to guide the movement, slowly move your body forwards and back so the hip rolls over the foam roller To get a deeper stretch, change your hip positioning to get the pressure from the foam roller into different areas of your hip joint, or put more of your body weight onto the foam roller (less weight on the anchored leg) Ensure you do both sides
