Have you ever noticed how the more complicated things get the less useful they become? Obviously this doesn't apply to everything in life but there are times where we can get bogged down in the details. Consider the expression 'paralysis by analysis'.

Stretch/Mobilize - 10 minutes 1/2 kneeling hip stretch + 1/2 kneeling hip rocking1/2 kneeling rear foot elevated hip stretch...
