Painfully easy mobility for runners with tight hips

Three years back, I created a straightforward video demonstrating some of my go-to mobility exercises, perfect for daily practice.

I like to integrate variations of this routine either immediately post-run or later in the day, once work wraps up. I tend to get tighter/stiffer as the day goes on. It doesn't help that I spend a lot of my time sitting, making matters worse! It also doesn't help that I'm not getting any younger and that my recovery doesn't equal what I could get away with 10 years ago.

To prevent me from starting every run just waiting to molt, I do these movements to "undo" the stiffness and improve recovery between sessions.

With each movement, I advocate dedicating 1-2 minutes, extending the duration for areas where you feel notable tightness.

Additionally, it's beneficial to grab your foam roller and address any other trouble spots that need attention!
