I asked Pilates instructor Juanita Franke of Club Pilates what moves someone should start with to improve their hip mobility, and why our hips get so tight in the first place. "

The article from MSN, written by a Pilates instructor, discusses the discomfort many people experience when sitting cross-legged due to tight hips. It suggests four exercises to help open the hips and alleviate this discomfort: 1) Butterfly Stretch - where you sit with the soles of your feet together and gently press your knees towards the floor; 2) Pigeon Pose - a yoga pose that stretches the hip flexors and rotators; 3) Frog Pose - lying on your stomach with knees bent and feet out to the sides, which targets the inner thighs and hips; and 4) Lizard Pose - a deep lunge that stretches the hip flexors, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Each exercise is designed to increase flexibility and reduce tightness in the hip area, making sitting cross-legged more comfortable. The article emphasizes the importance of regular practice to see improvements in hip mobility.
