Anything in particular y'all do to stretch hip flexors out? We've done hurdles and some basic yoga stuff, but looking for more.
I am not a fan of hurdles as they tend to create more "tightness" then actual mobility. Stretching hip flexors and internal hip rotators, as well as the external hip rotators are essential.
