If you struggle to sit cross-legged, issues like limited hip mobility or weak glutes may be to blame. Here are moves to help.

Sit up tall in your chair. Keeping your knees bent, lift one leg off the ground, then lower it and repeat with the other leg.

Do 1-2 times for each foot. Sitting down, extend your leg forward and raise your toes pointed upward, so that your foot is resting on its heel (your leg should be at about a 45-degree angle).

Featured Sitting Heel Raises: Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor and raise your heels up as high as you can without pain. Slowly lower your heels. Do this 3-5 times a day.

While sitting, turn the chair so that you can place your right heel onto boxes or a shelf (or something elevated). The goal is to stretch the inner right thigh.
