Here's the Basic Hip Stretching Routine for you addicts!
These are the basic stretches you need to start mastering if you want to keep your hips healthy and mobile.
Stretches should be held for 1-3 minutes and done on both sides. Cycle through the stretches by doing both the glutes and the hip flexors multiple times in a day. These can be done right after each other or separated throughout the day.
Things to remember when Stretching:
1. Maintain focus and body awareness. If something doesn't feel right back out of it and reassess.
2. Stretching shouldn't hurt. Work up to a mild, but controllable discomfort.
3. Work your way towards longer holds (5 minutes +).
4. Don't stretch "cold", do a little warm up first.
5. The more you do, the quicker you will get results!
6. Get addicted to stretching, you have a lifetime of doing it! If you look at it as a chore you will never get it done.
7. Make it part of lifestyle and you will be paid dividends with happy hips for the rest of your life.
