Hip Mobility
3 Exercises to help increase mobility
Exercises like the squat or even deadlift (hinge) are a fundamental movement pattern of life. Which means that we need to be able to efficiently complete these exercises on a regular basis.
However, sitting all day or being cooped up at our computers can create tightness through the main areas that allow us to effectively complete exercises.
Muscles like hip flexors, glutes and IT bands are just to name a couple of the areas that tend to be overstressed and tight.
You are in luck, though, I have attached three of my favorite exercises to help improve hip mobility!
These exercises are ones that I regularly incorporate into my warm up prior to squat or deadlift day. I sometimes even incorporate these just help keep the muscles loose.
90/90 Stretch
Pigeon Stretch
Runners Lunge
When looking to incorporate these add them for roughly :30-:45s per side of each movement. Repeat 1-2 times. You should be able to feel your hips loosening up and maybe some relief from aches/ pains.
