If you are experiencing joint issues or pain in areas like knees, ankles, and lower back, along with tightness in your hips, it could be due to tight hip flexors.
Here are 7 helpful video guides available on the X platform under the username Fit Moral, aimed at improving your mobility and stretching your hips. Let's take a look at them:
Start by standing on one leg and crossing the other leg over it to enhance your hip mobility.
In another video, stand on one leg again, and with the other leg, make a 90-degree angle, then rotate it. This exercise strengthens your hips.
Lie down on the ground, stretch one leg straight and bend the other, using your hand to gently guide it towards the ground. This stretching exercise will help loosen your hips.
Another stretching exercise involves the ‘cat cow’ pose. Lift one leg, rotate it, abduct it, and repeat the process. This routine contributes to better hip flexibility.
In a similar cat cow pose, rotate one leg in the opposite direction to stretch your hips further.
Stand straight, bend one leg at the ankle, and place the opposite leg on top, creating a 90-degree angle between them. Gently lean to one side to feel the stretch in your hips.
Finally, stand straight, lift one leg, and rotate your body to create a 180-degree angle. This exercise is highly effective for hip stretching.
Performing these exercises regularly can reduce the risk of injury and promote muscle relaxation.
