The Ultimate Hip Mobility Exercise

Gary Berger — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 17:30:06 +0000

In this video, I combine two of my favorite and most effective hip mobility techniques: Hip CARs with a mobilization using a band.

If you’ve checked out any of my hip videos, you would have most likely stumbled across hip CARs (controlled articular rotations). These are essentially an exercise consisting of a very specific type of hip circle that I use for a warm-up, mobility, and general hip health.

However, you may sometime get pinch points (painful parts of the movement) in the joint.

I have used “hip mobilizations” in previous videos where I use a monster band or a belt to help perform a “joint mobilization” which allows for improved space in the joint and results in more usable space, decreased pain, and more motion.

This exercise is a “mobilization with movement,” and it’s one of the most effective ways to get a joint both moving and feeling better.

Check out the video with one of the absolute best and “bang-for-your-buck” hip exercises that I have utilized to help my hips feel EVEN better.

Unique Drill For Improved Hip Rotation (Knee Hinge Hovers)

Gary Berger — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 17:00:34 +0000

The 90-90 position is extremely useful and beneficial for hip mobility, and specifically rotation.

Once you are able to get into this position and get into some stretches and dynamic movements, you will notice the benefits.

This position is also beneficial for its variability. One specific exercise from the 90-90 are hovers.

In this video, I take you through a knee hinge hover exercise for some increased challenge for improved hip rotation.

I like to do 2 sets of 5-10 repetitions.

This is a sequence that I learned from the Functional Range Conditioning seminar and Kinstretch instruction from Functional Anatomy Seminars which I use with my clients on a regular basis.

Try These Techniques For A Tighter Triangle Choke

Gary Berger — Mon, 06 Apr 2020 16:02:12 +0000

If you have trouble finishing the Triangle Choke submission, then you could be lacking an important aspect of your hip mobility.

Hip internal rotation is not something many Jiu-Jitsu practitioners focus on, but it is a vital movement for having a tighter triangle as well as the ability to regain guard, and to maintain hip and knee health.

In this video I take you through three important components of improving hip internal rotation which will lead to more success in all of these areas in BJJ!

This video was inspired from a post that I saw on Instagram from BJJ Brown Belt @coach_christinamarie

Use Assisted Hip Circles For Improved Hip Mobility

Gary Berger — Fri, 02 Aug 2019 16:38:36 +0000

Hip mobility is extremely important in overall health and Jiu-Jitsu. The mobility in the hips allows for improved guard retention, ability to transition to different submissions, and to keep you low back safe.

This video shows a quick variation using a band to perform circles as well as a “windshield wiper” movement to promote a good hip warm-up, increase flexibility, and improve motion in the hips.
