How To Improve Hip Flexibility

Here we go. Hi, my name is Richardo Macedo, I am from R-Fitness, London. Look at this, I will show you how to do some exercise and present you with few guidelines.

So let's get ready. We are back. Okay, we're going to show you how to increase flexibility on your hips.

How to improve it? Okay, again… it is always advisable to do stretching after workout. If you don't do it after workout and you didn't have to workout, when you do stretch, just be extra careful, okay, extra gentle. Fendy is going to show you two major stretches for the hips.

Start with hip flexes. Big step forward, make sure your feet is flat on the ground and stretch all the way here, your hip flexes. Make sure your legs are in the right position, in vertical, not bending forward.

That's good. Hold 15 seconds in this position, 15-20 seconds, then the other side. Very good, another 15-20 seconds, you can time it, you can count and switch.

We are going to show a different one now, it's called hip opener. So you're going to sit down like a yoga position, cross your legs and reach forward. Hold for 15 seconds in this position, that's really a good one, and switch legs, one go on the back and the other one front, now another 15 seconds, and relax.

So another one you can do, what we are going to perform is it can be little bit painful. It's more like a massage, stretch, etc. It's really good for your hips.

She wants me to do it, this one. I don't feel she likes the pain. Let's go for it.

Simple, very basic. Elbows on the floor, you're going to lie down on your side, on your hips, legs together. Keep it straight, rolling, forward and backward.

Give your hip a good massage, getting rid of the lactic acid, okay. Then what you have to do is the other side. You can do 15 moves, back and forward, then you do on the front.

Done that, 15, your count's done. You can repeat that 3 times, each one of them, and that will help you to improve your hip flexibility.
