Tight hips & achy everything? Try these!

Ready to have your mind blown?

The average adult now sits 6.5 to 8+ hours per day.

Long sitting = tighter hip flexors + reduced mobility.

When your hips are tight, it doesn’t just stay in your hips.

It can show up as nagging knee pain, an achy lower back, and it can even affect your posture.

And if you’re a fit woman over 40 battling her hormones, those ripple effects can add up even faster.

Here is why your hips deserve a little extra attention:

●     Sitting for long stretches shortens and tightens your hip flexors.

●     Hormonal shifts in midlife can make joints feel stiffer and slower to recover.

●     When hip mobility decreases, it affects balance, stability, and the way your body moves all day long.

The good news? You don’t need hours of stretching to keep your hips healthy. Just a few minutes a few times a week can make a big difference.

Below are 4 hip mobility moves worth saving (and doing regularly):

1️⃣  “90/90 Stretch”

Sit with one leg bent in front of you at 90 degrees, the other bent behind at 90 degrees. Fold forward over the front shin. Hold for 30–45 seconds on each side.

Great for opening up deep hip rotators and improving flexibility.

2️⃣  “Hip Flexor Stretch with Reach"

Step into a low lunge with your back knee on the floor. Gently press hips forward and reach the same-side arm overhead. Hold 30 seconds per side.

Releases tight hip flexors from sitting and supports posture.

3️⃣ “Glute Bridge with March”

Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat. Lift your hips into a bridge. Slowly march one foot off the ground, then switch.

Strengthens glutes while improving hip stability.

4️⃣  “World’s Greatest Stretch”

From a lunge position, place both hands on the ground inside your front foot. Rotate your torso towards your front leg and reach your arm toward the ceiling. Hold 15–20 seconds, switch sides.

Improves hip, hamstring, and spine mobility all at once.

👉 Aim to do these 3–4 times a week. They take less than 10 minutes, and your hips (and the rest of your body) will thank you.

Mobility isn’t just about flexibility. It’s about moving with freedom, avoiding pain, and feeling strong and capable.
