MOBILITY EXERCISES and Stretches for TIGHT HIPS!!!
In this video I’m going to show you my favorite hip mobility exercises so you can get hips like a ninja!
Do you have lower back, knee pain or poor posture? Do you sit a lot? Do you have a hard time with your squats or other physical activities like running, jumping, or making sweet love? Like Shakira says, your hips don’t lie! Most likely you have tight hips.
If you want to get stronger and move better, you gotta start with the hips. The healthier and less restricted your hips, the better you can move. You will be able to unleash your body’s full potential for strength, power, athleticism, and ninja skills!
Your hips love and long for consistent exercise to stay mobile, strong, and healthy. Start incorporating these exercises into your daily routine right away! A little goes a long way.
Move in and out of the stretch several times. Hold the stretched position for 10-30 seconds. Shake it out and do it again. Practice everyday.
Drill #1: Deep squat. Mobilizes the hips, the knees, and the ankles.
Drill #2: 90/90 shin box. Works both internal and external rotation of the hips.
Drill #3: The Pigeon. Stretches the hip rotators and the hip flexors. It also requires external rotation in the front leg and internal rotation in the back leg.
Drill #4: The Butterfly. Useful for the groin muscles, and for improving hip rotation to the side.
Drill #5: The Frog. Stretches out your inner thighs, groin and hips.
Drill #6: The Scorpion. Stretches the hip flexors and relieves lower back pain.
