    Seated Glute Stretch

    The seated glute stretch is a flexibility exercise targeting the gluteal muscles. It is performed seated on the ground, crossing one ankle over the opposite thigh and gently pressing down on the knee to deepen the stretch. This exercise helps improve hip mobility and relieve tension in the glutes and hamstrings.
