Try The Hamstring Windmill to improve hip and back mobility and as a useful warmup before BJJ or strength training.
I have been focusing more on active stretching and movement to assist with engaging and firing muscle groups to get warmed up for training or activity.
By actively moving the legs and hips, I’m activating the muscles which gets them firing, and ultimately warms up the tissue and gets the areas prepare and ready for movement.
An active warm up with movement and muscle activation is key in performance as well as decreased risk of injury.
I go through a number of variations with this exercise and have found it challenging and beneficial while trying it out.

In this technique we address the tightened musculature in the hamstrings as well as the hips.
This technique uses a resistance band to provide some activation and assisted stretching to get a more complete stretch to the hamstring and the hip.
We move through multiple planes including forward, outward, and inward to include multiple areas of the hamstring and hip.
1. Leg Forward.
2. Leg Outward
3. Leg Inward
4. Leg Circles
In the video I use a “Rogue Monster Band” but you can find similar items on Amazon.com
