Struggling to hit depth in your squat? Tight hips could be holding you back. Here’s how to self-mobilize and improve hip mobility:
1️⃣ Foam Roll & Release
Target glutes, hip flexors, quads, and adductors to release tension. 1–2 mins per area.
2️⃣ Hip Opening Stretches
• 90/90 stretch
• Pigeon pose
• Butterfly stretch
Hold 30–60 seconds, repeat 2–3x.
3️⃣ Banded Hip Distractions
Use a resistance band anchored around your inner thigh and let the band gently pull your hip out of the socket as you go through these 3 moves:
1. Forward lunges
2. Forward lunge with hip adduction
3. Full squat
✨ Consistency is key. Spend 5–10 mins daily on hip mobility and watch your squat transform!
