  • This can reduce the mobility of the hip joints and weaken the muscles around the hips. The best way to remedy this is by doing mobility exercises that stretch and strengthen the hips. I recently had the chance to talk to Pilates instructor and founder of wellness studio East of Eden Abby McLachlan and she tipped me off to her favorite hip mobility exercise.

The article from MSN highlights the importance of hip health, particularly focusing on a single exercise recommended by Pilates instructor Hollie Grant. The exercise, known as the "Hip Opener," involves lying on your back with knees bent, feet flat on the floor, and then crossing one ankle over the opposite knee to form a figure-four shape. From this position, you pull the uncrossed leg towards your chest to stretch the hip of the crossed leg. This move targets the hip flexors, glutes, and external rotators, helping to alleviate tightness and improve mobility in the hips. Grant emphasizes that this stretch is crucial for counteracting the effects of prolonged sitting, which can lead to hip issues. Regular practice of this exercise can enhance hip flexibility, reduce pain, and improve overall lower body function.
