Text Written By Shakin ChuaModel: AndriaPhotography: Ahmad Hakim

You are not doing anything strenuous, yet you are feel-ing tight in your hamstrings or pain in your back from time to time.

It is a common issue for many who lead a sedentary life-style.

Health issues resulting from such a lifestyle have caused major concerns, with personal trainers, rehab specialists and physiotherapists seeing an increase in patients suf-fering from mobility related issues.

Most of us are aware of unhealthy habits (such as smoking) that increase the chances of diseas-es such as stroke and cancer, but do not realise that sitting down for too long has its side e� ects on your long-term health as well.

To mitigate the problems associated with being sedentary, it is important to develop hip mobil-ity. Sitting weakens our glutes and tightens the

hip � exors, and these cause increased tightness in our muscles and reduce mobil-ity.

Your lower back, or lum-bar spine is not designed to bend repeatedly and li� things. � e true purpose is to provide support and sta-bility of your body. However if you have poor hip mobil-ity brought about by sitting for prolonged periods of time, your hip do not know how to hinge, so the body compensates, and uses your back instead.

When you consider how your body functions, it is worrying that many of you have forgotten how to utilise your hip properly.

One of the main reasons why I do not recommend beginners to jump into exercises such as Deadli� s, Clean and Jerks, or even a simple kettlebell swing is due to poor hip mobility. Beginners usually are not able to execute the movement correctly.

Here are some hips mobility drills that you can do on a daily basis to keep your hips healthy and mobile. � ese mobility movements can also be done prior to doing any exercises.
