You know how you feel stiff and slow-moving sometimes? Do you find yourself taking small, shuffling steps in the morning, or maybe throughout the day? Even if you only periodically take small steps, you’re probably stiff in your hip joints. You must move your legs with full range to loosen that gummed-up joint.
Why not take a few minutes to “lube” up those joints and muscles to help you get a better workout, or just make your day more enjoyable?
This is a great exercise you can do standing. You will need a stick or counter to hold on to while you balance on one leg, activating your glutes and core to “lube” up your hip joints. If you go several days without swinging this ball and socket joint properly, your hip will get gummed up and stiff.
Doing this exercise will also help you swing your leg, which will improve your gait and can prevent falls.
Watch this video to learn how to lube up your hips and loosen up your muscles and joints before starting your day:
