Tight hips affect everything. They cause low back pain, limit athletic performance, and make sitting uncomfortable. Most people develop hip restrictions without realizing it until pain appears. This 3-minute routine targets the primary causes of hip tightness. Four exercises address hip flexors, internal rotation, and overall hip mobility. Perform it daily to maintain hip function or multiple times daily to restore lost mobility. No equipment needed. You do this routine anywhere you have enough space to stand. Start Your 14-Day Free Trial The Complete 3-Minute Routine 1. Hip Flexor Mobilization (45 seconds each side) Why it works: Directly targets the hip flexors shortened by sitting. The primary cause of hip tightness for most people. JME 113 Place one knee on your chair and move that knee both forward and back to feel a stretch in the front of your leg. 2. Hip Internal Rotation (30 seconds each side) Why it works: Restores internal rotation lost from prolonged sitting. Opens up the deep hip capsule. JME 111 Placing your knee on an elevated surface, rotate your upper body back toward that elevated leg. (This will be very difficult in the office - a bed is ideal for this exercise). 3. Standing Hip Rotation (30 seconds) Why it works: Integrates hip mobility with the whole body. Functional movement that transfers to daily activities. JME 115 Standing, rotate your upper body to each side - keeping your feet in the same position. 4. Single Leg Hip Rotation (30 seconds each side) Why it works: Isolates each hip for targeted work. Identifies and corrects imbalances between sides. JME 114 Standing on one leg, place the foot of the other leg behind your knee. Then, rotate the elevated knee both forward and back.
