For this week’s Mobility Monday, we are flashing back to the first part of a series we did on hip mobility!
If you are familiar with our original tag line, it’s as follows:
Move Better. Feel better. Perform Better.
We meant it. 🙂
If you move well, you will most likely perform well. Here is an instructional video of effective hip mobility drills. I use these with my fighters/athletes and have had great success.
Tips to Keep in Mind When Doing These Hip Mobility Drills
- Always maintain a neutral spine.
- Make sure that you don’t hold your breath.
Hip Mobility Drills in this Video
- Cross Crawl
- Hip Hydrant
- Hip Circle
- Hip Rock
- Hip Rock with Adductor Stretch (with some bonus external rotation and dorsi plantar flexion!)
- Hip Windmill
- Pigeon Stretch
- Hip Flexor Stretch
- Hip Flexor Stretch with Quad Stretch
Do each of these drills 10-15 times. Don’t push it too far with any of these movements. Be safe!
