You probably often hear gripes about tight hip flexors at the gym.
They're not uncommon, especially if you sit at a desk all day.
"When you sit, your legs are parked at a 90-degree angle from your
hips for hours at a time, instead of extended to their full 180-degree range of
motion, which shortens the length of your hip flexors," says Todd Durkin,
C.S.C.S., owner of Fitness Quest 10 in San Diego, California. And that can wreak
all kinds of havoc in your hips, thighs, and lower back.
