These two stretches will "life-proof" your hips if you sit all day, according to an expert trainer

A woman on a yoga mat performs a hip mobility move. Both her legs are bent at right angles and resting on the floor; one is in front of her and the other is out to the side. Her hands rest on the floor and she is smiling.

Many people assume that only big injuries cause long-term damage but in reality, it’s daily wear and tear that often leads to persistent aches and pains.

One of the biggest culprits? Sitting too much. The human body isn’t designed to stay seated all day, and over time, this can cause a range of problems, limit hip mobility, and weaken the muscles that support the joint.
