A list of the best hip mobility exercises may not sound like the most exciting thing… but here’s the punchline, the far majority of us actually have tight hips and this is causing all sorts of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions such as lower back ache, knee pain and limited movement.
Sitting for long periods and a sedentary lifestyle can contribute to weakened glutes and tight hip flexors. This means the hips don’t hinge like they should so other parts of your body, such as your back, take more of the load… which often leads to injury (or at the very least, poor posture and movement).
Consequently, prioritizing hip mobility within any fitness routine should be something everyone does… which is why we’ve created this guide as a simple way to get started. We’ve got 10 exercises that will help test and improve your hip mobility, and tips for doing them properly.
(We also delve into the difference between mobility and flexibility and recommendations to ensure you’re working on your mobility – i.e. improving the range of motion around your joints).
We’ve turned this list of mobility exercises for the hips into a printable PDF guide too, so you can stick it on your wall as a reminder of what exercises to do.
