Common conclusions
To stretch and strengthen your hips, you need to aim for the primary extensor and main muscle on your hip. Start with doing the Frankenstein walk, hip circles, sidestep exercise, clamshell exercise, lateral step-up, and single-leg Romanian deadlifts.
For hip extension, you can try the bird dog exercise. It’s an exercise where you swing your legs behind you to target your glute muscles.
If it’s your first time doing hip exercises, you can choose to start with squats, side lunges, fire hydrants, wall sits, banded walk, step-ups, side-lying leg raise, and jump squat.
If you want an exercise type that can improve your hips and you can perform anytime you want, the single-leg hip lift is a must-try. It effectively helps wake up your glutes, especially if you have been sitting for a long time.
If you feel uncomfortable with adding squats for your hip exercise, you can try to perform banded ankle kick-slides, banded glute bridge, quadruped pigeon, and half-frog straddle stretch. You can search all these steps on Youtube to know how it’s done.
If you want the type of exercises that can improve your hip flexors, these sets will work best for you: straight leg raise, floor sliding mountain climbers, pigeon pose, jump lunge, Bulgarian split squat, kettlebell swing, and banded hip march.
If you want a hip exercise that's easy to follow, you can lie on your back with bent knees and your feet toward your hips. Press your palms on the floor and lift your hips as high as you can. Do each 2-3 times for 30 seconds.
If you want an intense workout routine to improve your hips, ready your body and do the following exercises: lateral banded walk, curtsy lunge, side leg lifts with a band, forearm plank kick, low stance jack, side plank hip lift, fire hydrant, glute bridge march, side plank leg raise, step-up side hold and heel curve.
