The Best 3 Exercises to Increase Hip MOBILITY (Not Flexibility!)

Video Description

Static stretching can actually make you more prone to hip injury. Instead, learn why increasing hip mobility (not flexibility) boosts your range of motion and overall hip health. Then, follow along with three easy exercises to get your hips feeling good. First, what is the difference between flexibility and mobility? Coach E dives into the background of hip mobility and why being able to move under your own muscle power is the healthy way to go. Some pretty scary stuff also happens when you improve flexibility without strength. You'll also learn about the Precision Movement End-Range Expansion techniques, which build up levels of mobility in a specific way that helps you keep the mobility gains you work hard to achieve. Exercise 1 will lengthen the hamstrings, build strength in the hip flexors as well, and build lumbopelvic stability. If you can't grab your thigh from laying on the ground, you'll need a rope or pair of pants to hold your leg in place while activating your hammies. Exercise 2 requires a little extra attention to the posture cues. This exercise helps your hip mobility at the extreme ends of your mobility range. Exercise 3 doesn't require any movements. Pay attention to the positioning of your pelvis and lumbar spine as you do the isometrics. It will both strengthen and lengthen your hip flexor muscles. As you keep doing this routine, you'll improve the muscles supporting your hips and increase your hip mobility without risking injury, like with static stretching.
