test your mobility at the hip joint a
00:08
simple squat test can be done assess
00:10
your depth of squat and relate this to
00:12
your available mobility
00:13
to make this easier to assess it helps
00:15
to video yourself
00:17
the deeper you can go down while
00:18
maintaining technique the better hip
00:20
mobility you have
00:22
[Music]
00:29
one way to increase hip mobility and
00:30
flexibility is a shallow lunge with the
00:32
spinal twist
00:34
starting with stepping one leg forward
00:36
and supporting with the opposite arm
00:38
bring the elbow of the same side towards
00:40
the ground and twist around bringing
00:42
your palm upwards towards the sky
00:44
this smooth is great for stretching out
00:46
your hip flexors and the extra spinal
00:48
rotation gives a back stretch
00:50
the main factor we are aiming for here
00:52
however is increased flexibility
00:56
[Music]

another way to increase your hip
01:04
flexibility is bringing your knee to
01:05
your chest this next hip mobilizer
01:08

relax into the knee
01:17
for a hip open stretch targeting the hip

flexors and glutes place one knee up and
01:22
behind this hand of the same side with
01:24
your shin lying across the floor
01:27
foot towards the opposite hand
01:28
extending the spine and resting as close
01:30
to the floor as you can the static hold
01:33
will help open up the musculature and
01:35
surrounding supportive structures of the
01:36
hip joint a great option for increasing
01:39
hip mobility
01:41
take a deep breath and sink down as far
01:43
as you can
