At 35 (ahem, nearly 36), I've learned that building strong hips is a secret weapon for boosting mobility and keeping my body robust as I get older. Not only does it improve my ability to squat, deadlift and lunge safely, but it also helps me walk and run with more freedom, hike with less stiffness and feel generally more free and open.
The best hip mobility exercises will focus on strength, range of motion, balance and stability. For that reason, I want to share three simple exercises I swear by; if you sit at a desk for long periods, these are a game-changer for waking up stiff hips and relieving tension.
