The hips are the center of our power and impact our movement in a major way. If you sit all day, or even stand at a standing desk all day, then it’s likely your hips are tight. This can cause back pain, postural issues, a loss of athletic potential, and a lot more.
For such a big problem, hip mobility is surprisingly simple to fix. (Note: it is simple, not easy.) This ten-minute flow will walk you through a series of intermediate to advanced movements to help restore and expand the potential in your hips. We will start with the wrists and slowly build up into a sequence from there.
Remember each human body will move a little differently. You will see that both of us in this video are different shapes and move through the transitions in slightly unique ways. Listen to your body as you follow along, don’t let your ego into your practice, and keep your training productive.
