This is a beginner calisthenics mobility routine that's designed as an introduction to improving hip stability, flexibility and mobility. Whether you're trying to do the basic lower body exercises like squats and lunges or proceed to more advanced calisthenics exercises such as straight handstands, L-sits and pistol squats, having (minimally) decent hip flexibility and mobility will be imperative. If you haven't worked on mobility before and are a beginner to calisthenics, chances are you're not sure where to start. This video will show you exactly what to do.
To improve mobility in the hip complex, we focus on pelvic positioning during certain muscle activation. I explain how to hold posterior pelvic tilt and what it means. I then explain how to activate various muscles around the hip complex, such as the abdominals, hip flexors, lower back, gluteal muscles and more, while maintaining that posterior pelvic tilt.
Most of the exercises in this video are simple but don't let that fool you. If you are lacking mobility in the hips, you'll undoubtedly find some of these stretches and exercises challenging. Identify which ones to include in your mobility routine and make it a regular practice 3 times per week (or more).
Some of the stretches in this video:
- Half-kneeling hip flexor stretch
- Standing, seated & lying hamstring stretch
- 90/90 hip stretch
Some of the exercises in this video:
- Pelvic tilts
- Bent-knee marches
- Glute bridge
- Hip rotations
Working on mobility is NOT about pushing yourself hard. That's true for everyone and especially true for beginners. Improving mobility is a slow, gradual process, and you should approach it as "convincing" your muscles to improve their range of motion rather than "forcing" them. Take each exercise seriously, no matter how simple or trivial it may seem.

    Great video. One key point the trainer missed is try doing these protocols with bare feet. Most shoes especially with elevated heel platforms don’t allow for full potential of the stretch. Also being bare footed allows for increased proprioception.

    Waymarker Bushcraft I personally like doing flexibility/mobility work in the evening because it helps me wind down and relax, but it's also great to do it in the morning because then you start off your day more supple for all your daily activities. So there's advantages to both, honestly. Do whatever's best for your schedule. And you can certainly do the routine daily if you feel up to it. My general rule of thumb: if I'm not sore tomorrow, I can do it again :)
