When you're on a long flight and your back and hips are feeling tight and cranky, (carefully) move through this move that will give your glutes and hip flexors some much-needed love.
- Sit up straight and tall in your seat. Pull your left knee in toward your chest and give it a big hug for about two seconds, then release back to the ground.
- Alternate between hugging your left and right knees toward your chest for at least 30 seconds.
