Workout at home: 5 Mobility moves to start the day and make your hips feel GREAT

Описание: The hip joints have an incredible amount of mobility, however sitting for too long could compress the tissues: muscle, fascia and other elastic connective tissues, which could develop adhesions that affect joint motion. If the hips lose mobility then the joints above - lumbar spine - or below - knees - will have to compensate and create that lost mobility.

If you're really active but then a lot of time seated, for work or travel, then your hips could become tight and experience a loss of mobility. This video shows 5 moves that you can use to make your hips feel either first thing in the morning, especially the day after a challenging workout.

As a NASM-certified personal trainer for 18 years, I use that knowledge to not only help clients work towards their fitness goals but also to help me stay in shape to enjoy all of my favorite activities. This is a hip mobility sequence that I use most mornings of the week or after a long flight (I travel internationally to teach fitness education workshops - so I spend a lot of time in the air). I'm sharing it with you here in an effort to help you improve your mobility; please leave a comment below to let me know what you think, ask a specific question or make a request for future mobility videos. Thanks!

The mobility sequence in this video includes:
Offset quadruped rocking - right hand - right knee forward / left hand - left knee back; 12-15 reps on each side

Offset hip flexor stretch - gentle movements for 8-12 reps then hold the end range for 30-45 seconds on each leg

Hip circles - both legs in both directions, hold 1 leg - move the other in both directions, alternate; 10-12 circles each pattern, each direction

Glute bridges - press the heels down as you push your hips up, 10-15 reps

Hip stretch - press the straight leg down while stretching the opposite hip, hold 30-45 sec each leg
