Hip Mobility Routine
A hip mobility routine prepares squats and running with rotation and extension drills in a short pre-lift block. Pair mobility with strength through full range.
A hip mobility routine combines flexion, extension, internal, and external rotation drills—90/90 switches, couch stretch, and controlled leg swings—to prepare squats, running, and hinges. Five to eight minutes before lower-body training is a practical default.
Strength through range locks gains.
Common questions
-
Should hip mobility be done before or after lifting?
Most athletes benefit from brief dynamic hip work before training and longer static holds on rest days. Avoid aggressive stretching immediately before max attempts if you feel loose-unstable.
