Why Hip Mobility Matters Your hips connect your upper and lower body. Tight hips affect your back, knees, and overall movement quality. Five minutes of daily hip work prevents the stiffness that sitting creates and maintains the mobility active living requires. The 5-Minute Hip Routine Perform each exercise for approximately one minute. Move smoothly between positions. Hip Circles (1 minute) JME 108: Standing or hands-and-knees hip circles warm up the joint in all directions. Hip Flexor Stretch (1 minute each side) JME 113: Address the hip flexor tightness sitting creates. Hip External Rotation (1 minute) JME 115: Open the hips in external rotation for better overall mobility. Hip Internal Rotation (1 minute) JME 121: Balance external rotation work with internal rotation. Start your 14-day free trial for complete hip mobility programming.
