My 55-year-old client asked for a strength-building mobility routine for her hips, so here's what I gave her
As you get older, building a strong body with low-impact exercises supports your muscles and joints; here's a mobility routine you can try at home.
A strength-building mobility routine for the hips, specifically for a 55-year-old client, can be achieved using just a resistance or loop band and bodyweight. This routine, designed by Tom's Guide Fitness, includes exercises such as banded clamshell and knee drive, kneeling abductions, banded internal rotations, and overhead hip flexor stretches.
The benefits of this routine include improved abduction, gluteus medius activation, gluteus maximus activation, and hip flexor strength. It's important to note that these exercises are suitable for active individuals and should be performed with caution, especially if one has an injury or health condition.
