5 Minute Hip Flexor Stretch Routine for Flexibility & Mobility ‪@MovementbyDavid‬

Tight hips holding you back? This quick 5-minute routine will loosen up your hip flexors and boost your mobility fast.

Start in a lunge with your back knee on the ground. Sink forward and place your hands on your front leg. From here, lift the back knee up and lower it down. Repeat this five times to wake up the hips.

Next, reach your arms overhead. Inhale, then exhale as you sink deeper into the stretch. Keep your hips pointed forward and hold for thirty seconds, breathing slowly. Switch sides and repeat the sequence.

Stand tall and grab one ankle behind you for a quick quad stretch. Hold for ten seconds, then switch sides.

Drop back into your lunge. This time, lift the back leg and balance for about ten seconds. Lower it down and, if you can, bring your elbows toward the floor for another ten-second hold. Switch sides and repeat.

Finally, finish with a burnout. From a kneeling position, tuck your tailbone under and drive your hips forward. Lift, hold, and lower with control. Repeat for four or five slow reps.

By the end, your hip flexors should feel open, strong, and fully cooked. Do this routine a few times a week for maximum results.
