Having good hip mobility is important, so your hip can move freely in your running stride. If you have limited range in your hips, your body will try and find that range from elsewhere, like your lower back. Good hip mobility allows your muscles to work efficiently and reduces the fatiguing nature of muscles when they are working against resistance.
In this workout we focus on strengthening the muscles surrounding our hips, which in turns helps with mobility and increased range of motion. It also includes stretches that specifically help with hip flexibility.
