The Couch Stretch: A Simple Way to Relieve Tight Hips and Thighs

an example of a couch stretch

If you spend a lot of time sitting — at a desk, in a car, or on the couch — your hips and thighs are probably tighter than you think. The good news? You don't need a gym to fix it.

Coach Sean breaks it down in two quick videos as part of The Wellness Check, our weekly fitness tip series designed to give you simple, effective moves you can apply immediately.


Part 1: The Couch Stretch Basics

Sean walks you through how to perform the couch stretch at home with minimal equipment and minimal pain — just you and your couch. Watch Part 1 below.




Part 2: Taking It Further

In part two Sean shows you how to use furniture at home and equipment at the gym to stretch the outside of your thighs, hips, and glutes. Stay for the education, stay for the humor. Watch Part 2 below.



Add this stretch to your routine a few times a week and you'll notice a difference in how you move inside and outside the gym.
