Basics of movements and hip mobility. Something so many people cannot do is simple sit in a deep squat position. A simple exercise and practice for better hip mobility and a deeper squat is to sit as deep as you can and use the elbows to gently push the legs open to increase the stretch.
We are supposed to squat not sit, as humans, this is how we are supposed to sit. Not in a seat. Watch children play, they squat and play with toys, it’s their natural instincts to sit in a squat position. As we age and practice this less and less, we lose the ability to do it. So practice it, 10 minutes every day spread out across the day. In other words, 1 minute deep squat 10 times per day. Done. Your hips will thank you for it.
