3 Simple Bodyweight Exercises to Combat Desk-Bound Hip Pain
Spending hours at a desk can lead to tight, painful hips. To combat this, experts recommend three simple bodyweight exercises that can be done in just 10 minutes, three times a week. These exercises improve hip mobility and help maintain overall lower body health.
The recommended exercises are the pigeon stretch with forward bend, 90/90 hip openers, and reverse Nordic stretch. Each exercise should be performed for 45 seconds per side, where applicable, and repeated for 2-3 rounds in total. These exercises target the hips, helping to control force movement through the lower body and prevent issues with the back, knees, and ankles.
Famous trainers such as Gabe Nubiles, Joe Yoon, and Kelly Starrett have focused on hip mobility and stability in their work with athletes. While they may not be mentioned in every article about hip mobility exercises, their expertise in this area is well-known.
Incorporating these three mobility exercises into a weekly routine can help maintain healthy, flexible hips. This not only improves comfort but also supports the overall health of the lower body, including the back, knees, and ankles.
