Target
Glutes

This stretch uses a roller to open the hip and lat together in one position, targeting the connection between the upper body and the hip that a lot of isolated stretches miss. Useful after heavy pulling or squatting sessions when both areas tend to tighten up together.

How to Do the Roller Hip Lat Stretch

  1. Start by kneeling on the ground with the roller positioned under your hips.
  2. Place your hands on the roller for support.
  3. Slowly roll the roller forward, extending your hips and stretching your glutes.
  4. Hold the stretch for a few seconds, then roll back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Muscles Worked

The Roller Hip Lat Stretch primarily targets the Glutes, with Hamstrings as the primary synergist muscle group, along with the Quadriceps.
