Game Changer Hip Mobility

[@Strengthside]

Developing stronger Internal Rotation has really changed my hips for the better. It took me awhile to understand this. At first I thought why would I want my legs to move inward? Isn’t that bad for my knees? But hip IR allows your joints to move more freely, can develop more space in the joint and helps the beloved squat get deeper. Ever feel tension or pinching in your hips? It’s worth trying some of the more basic hip internal rotation exercises (1,2,3) to see if your hip health improves. Start with exercise 1 and rotate your knees inward. Then just see if you can sit into the 90 90 position. If your IR sucks, this position will feel super uncomfortable. Get more comfortable sitting into the back hip. Feel the side of the torso shorten and the back hip release downward. Use a pillow to raise your hips if you need it! From here you can move on to exercise 2 lifting the hips up and down. And exercise 3 trying to lift the foot from the ground. Exercise 4 and 5 are for those who want to play with those more extreme versions of internal rotation. Don’t do these until you’ve developed a good amount of IR strength. This can be a game changer for lots of people if you’ve never explored it.

[@jangrier7828]

Yes, simple hip exercises have changed my life. I am so much more mobile than I was before I started.Your video is great!

[@Add_Account485]

Is there an equivalent external rotation exercises video too?

[@Add_Account485]

What's it mean when my hips clicking with the hip lifts..? AND my lower back buttox area?.. ( i even felt a slightly poping in my neck!..) Also is something is off with my hips when I can do hip lifts easy on one leg but struggle on the other.. and feel like I'm differently aligned on the other side? Any videos to check this?

[@woah6958]

Yep, your hips are out of alignment. Find a sports physiotherapist to help sort you out.

[@CN-dv9nj]

I don’t know why but I’ve started having sciatic nerve pain and it’s starting to scare me lol.. PT guy gave me exercises I e been following and the I thermal rotations believe it or not are the best for realigning the pelvis on me anyway I’m gonna add some of yours too thanks for showing them.

[@belebele1982]

There are so many exercises that have to be done I’m never going to be able to leave the house!

DO them outside! ☀

[@pageandink]

Right! “Do THIS everyday”.

[@Just_a_Reflection]

There's always Amazon 🤷🏿‍♂️.

[@OleSmokey]

Checking in gents your movements have helped me tremendously the last 5 and half years shattered hip and pelvis at 52 currently you'd never know I was injured. People believe in yourself and keep moving blood flow and oxygen heals

[@slantdwave]

YES!

[@sheilagavin6536]

❤ Thank you!! I'm very glad you shared your experience - I am greatly encouraged from having read your empowering comment ❤

[@BetterMe981]

That's incredible. I can't even get into these positions he's showing to do the exercises😮.

[@OleSmokey]

Stay consistent no matter how long it takes and it will come. It's how you have to be the rest of your life stay flexible and keep moving good luck never give

[@sunshine_pnw]

Similar here. Exercise helps injured hip no surgery.

My hips feel amazing. Adding this to my morning exercises. ❤

[@TodaysBibleTruth]

For older people who can't squat, a modified version of this can be done lying down on the back. It is a soothing stretch.

[@usaroxx8085]

You might try a squat with 2 books or 3 under each heel. Or 2 books stacked and heels on the books, while you hold a bedpost in front of you, or a heavy weight on the floor to anchor you. Then try the hip mobility stretches here. Also there are YT videos that teach how to progressively train ankles and calves, etc how to eventually sustain a squat

[@stephaniebalducci6248]

Thank the gods! I laughed watching this because there is no way I could even bend my leg without extreme pain. 😅

[@_Just_Another_Guy]

The squat version would kill my already bad knees. I'm interested how the lying down version would work.

[@heather4089]

Older people can squad, is all in their mind, im 56 and I do it with no problems.

[@chelseabunker2391]

@@heather4089 nobody directed this at you, and nobody posted an exact age. What if this person is referring to a senior relative who maintained a stagnant lifestyle? My parents are in their 70s, and cannot do a squat currently. They would need modifications first to regain that kind of movement. If you look through the comments, there are several middle aged people claiming they cannot squat due to injury or surgery. 😅 Be proud you can do that, but go easy on others. People can start their fitness journeys at different times and stages of life.

[@aramotselaw3794]

My r hip was broken in a car accident. I've been going to chiropractor and doing yoga, but still hurting, cramping, and feeling weak. I'm grateful I found you.

[@dirtydan9785]

Chiropractics is a scam and it screws up people's bones every single time, you need a physical therapist instead

[@EmorettaRobinson]

I clicked for the hip mobility info. But also received a dose of adorableness from his little baby. Imagine having a dad that's doing his best to be as mobile and active as possible for plenty of years of play time in the future.

[@loria.buttsesquire3867]

Yesss!!! Baby boy was the cuteness overload I needed. I'm starting these moves asap. ✌🏽💯

[@traceylennon1204]

I loooovvee new stretches!! I just turned 44, and I'm in better shape than I have ever been and it's all because I started stretching about 20 mins a day...a year ago. I'm not talking my warm up, or cool down, during my workouts...a whole separate stretching session. I'm telling you, I feel so awesome.

[@hExZinc]

Having done Taekwondo my whole life from a young age where internal hip rotation is essentially what Taekwondo is about I never understood the issues other people experienced. Thanks Taekwondo.

[@DivaDivine88]

Mmmokayy.. 🫤😒??

[@SO-gf7nj]

OMG I need to do this. Sitting at a desk all day has killed my hips

[@Sun-ic7rq]

Sitting will do that...

[@tjhollen]

I work a "desk" job as well. Highly recommend standing while you work. It takes some time to get used to standing all day but sooo worth it. I built myself a standing work station with cardboard boxes. My stenosis & neuropathy is a million % better.

[@olyaanisimova1647]

"Standing work station" Is it possible to give a brief description what it's look like pls, sounds great👍

[@tjhollen]

@@olyaanisimova1647 stack boxes or other objects such that screen is at eye level when standing & keyboard/mouse are at elbow height. I actually have created two work stations like this - one for my personal computer & one for my work computer. Lmk if that helps or I can give more info. Love being able to help others and share what has helped me.

[@josephbeavers4714]

Definitely get exercise in the morning before work and agree w. others get up from chair at least once an hour, but get out and walk 20 min at lunch.

[@nylesgregory2120]

Oh - can't thank you enough for this. I've suffered back surgery pain for years and now committing to daily core strengthening. Just with one starter session, I feel better. Will follow you from now on for my own health journey. Again, thank you for uploading this.

[@arichansmontoya3477]

I like finding nice and easily done home workouts such as this. As a 33 year old gerting back to the gym in the past year, these are much welcomed to my regiment!

[@Kurosuchi0Hinta]

I've been working on resting in deep squats and realized my right leg has more internal rotation than my left and it bugged me. The synchronicity here is amazing 🙏

[@ICUP920]

See Conor Harris page. This guy is just grasping at straws. Conor will help you fix your left femoral internal rotation for good. You have an anterior pelvic tilt on the left and your right side pelvis is higher than the left. Your welcome.

[@isthatujeebus]

Have fun with those cramps. Yeah, I feel that.

[@kjsubz]

From that tongue-in-cheek remark, I reckon the road to fitness is littered with cramps from time to time. If this has been your experience, gimme a thumbs up.

[@Strengthside]

[@YogaBlissDance]

Love that you do body weight movement no needing tons of equiptment or sweaty closed places.

[@tingliasmr]

I love seeing all the progressions. It gives you something to work towards but it's always good to go back to basics and also when you get injured and have to take it easy.

If you do the hip lifts before just sitting in a squat it feels way easier as well as it straightens your back more. It really opens the pelvis.

I am 57. I started to have debilitating pain in 2020, so excruciating that I had to crawl on all four. The pain would last for one hour. Until I went to my physician who diagnosed a pinched nerve. I was convinced that it was the arthritis that my dad is afflicted with. My doctor's recommendation : those same exercises. I haven't experienced any pain since 2022.

I’m trying all of these when I get home! I have been dealing with a hip flexor injury for a while now! It’s SLOWLY getting better, but it’s the front and back and I have sciatica on top of that! Try to work on strengthening the hip flexors and keeping mobility too…I sit a lot for work and lift regularly and don’t get enough mobility work in! However, they are kind of flexible! I think these could be very beneficial!!!

I was shown 90-90s (#5 in your video) a few years ago and doing them has alleviated my hip stiffness and pain. My version is slightly different from yours: I keep both legs at 90° throughout the entire exercise. Recently have been doing the leg lift as well. Very challenging! Most days I spend some time sitting in a deep squat, which helps to open up the back body.
