I did this five-minute hip mobility routine for 30 days—here are the three ways it changed my body

Katie Sims sits on a yoga mat, with her knees bent, left leg in front, right leg behind.

The older I get, the more I need to practice mobility to reduce the daily aches and pains I’m (sadly) starting to feel.

Hip stiffness is my biggest problem. My right hip in particular gets achy when I’ve been sitting for too long, which is why I wanted to try a five-minute hip mobility routine every day for a month to see if it could help.
