Hurdle Hip Mobility Drill – Warm Up Exercise

  Fellow Strength and Conditioning Coach Delroy Rhooms owner of SST Canada – Oakville, took me through a couple of new hip mobility drills before our training session. I have extremely tight hips, due to the lack of stretching throughout my professional sports career and it has caught up to me. Now using warm up drills before training to open and extend my hips so there is more mobility is a necessity. This was tough for me as I struggled but it helped prepare for my brutal training session. If you have tight hips then these drills are effective.

Once you feel the hips opening up and becoming more flexibility, then you can raise the barrier level.
