Transcript: Hey it's Nick Ortego here. I'm going to show you how to do an exercise for your hips, a hip mobility exercise. It warms up the hips. It gets blood flowing into the muscles around that area. It gets synovial fluid flowing into the joints to help to lubricate the joints. Basically going to be on your stomach, prone position, and then bend both knees and then cross your legs over so the lower legs are crossing over. We're doing the internal and external rotation at the hips here. It looks like that. From back just like this. I'll cross one in front of the other and then switch sides so I'm always switching sides because the movement is slightly different. It's slightly different when the leg goes in front and behind. Do that for a few minutes. Give that a try just to warm up your hips, get your hips more mobile. Got any benefit from that? Then give me a comment below.
