3 hip mobility exercises for desk workers

If you spend long hours each day sitting, these 3 hip mobility exercises are what you need.

Here’s why we love these movements:

1️⃣ 90/90 Back Shin Lifts

• Perfect for targeting hip external rotation

• Helps unlock those stiff office hips

• Builds control in new ranges of motion

2️⃣ Bench Pigeon Press

• The desk worker’s secret weapon

• Opens tight hip flexors and rotators

• Gentle yet effective progression

3️⃣ Single Leg Glute Bridge

• Activates sleepy glutes from sitting

• Improves hip stability

• Counteracts desk posture issues
