The Daily Rep | Hip Mobility 🦵
Do your hips feel decades older than you do? 👴 Tight hips can mess with your squat depth, lower back, and overall movement, so it’s time to shave some years off those joints!
Try this mobility routine to unlock tight hips:
• Hip Airplanes: 10 reps / side
• Standing Marches: 10 reps / side
• Butterfly: 20 second pulse
• Seated Hurdle Stretch: 15 sec hold / side
• Pigeon to Cobra: 2x20 sec hold / side
• 90/90: 2x15 seconds
💡Pro tip: Don’t rush through the holds or force depth right away. Take deep breaths into any tight spots and let your muscles naturally relax into the stretch!
Save this for your next warm-up or recovery day, and hit that follow button for your healthy dose of fitness tips!
