Forget frog pose — I added weighted hip rolls to my mobility routine, and my hip strength has transformed in just 3 weeks

Young woman in activewear standing outdoors with hands on hips smiling.

I'm completely obsessed with mobility, so I'm always exploring on my mat, finding new ways to make my hips happy. My latest exercise I adore is weighted hip rolls; you can improve lower-body mobility, release tension from your hips and strengthen your core, hip flexors and legs.

You don't need much; I recommend one of the best yoga mats to sit on and either a weight plate, dumbbell, or loop band, or a combination of all three. This mobility exercise is low-impact on your knees, but if you experience pain, stop immediately. If you’re currently injured, I advise clearing new exercises with a qualified medical professional like your physician first.
