Here we have Rudy G. performing a variation of the woodchop. Why this exercise? Notice his hip flexors open as he flexes his shoulders upward. Great dynamic stretch for the hips! When he sits all day at the office, his hip flexors are in a shorten state for hours at a time. Think about it, hours add up to days that add up to months then years. That's a lot of time theses hips flexors are spent in an unnatural position. Sitting is probably the worst position any human can be in for long periods of time! Rudy is performing an advance variation here but all you need to do is hold a ball with both hands instead of a band as shown here. Start with ball lowered between legs in a semi squat stance. As you raise the ball overhead stand out of the squat and force the hips forward with a pelvis thrust all the while squeezing your behind. Simple as that! Take a 5 minute break from the office day and open up the hips!
