Im 60 and still do a fairly physical job (which i love and dont see myself ever wanting to leave). Needless to say, 60 isnt 20 but I do work on mobility to keep moving well. I've tried most of these moves previously and have struggled. The cues/tips you have added here are the most helpful I've ever heard and seen. Thanks for your videos, we should all be doing these on the regular as we age.
I would urge caution as I have made my arthritis in my lower back actually worse by hip and lower back exercise. There is no substitute for professional medical advice before you embark on any kind of regime and I'd take this over self-professed experts or glib advice.
@@rolandevans5894 If you asked a podiatrist why your feet hurt, they'll tell you you have [name a malady] and tell you to wear special cushioned shoes. These make the problem worse not better.

@@davidpowell3469 65 its not too late. Maybe 90+ things start to get harder. I used to do only gym basically, I hated stiffness and tried yoga. Yoga didnt work. Started karate and things started to happen. Of course it takes time and dedication, not overdoing, and the enjoyment is essential. In karate things start slowly get better and better, you realize that you can go to positions you thought would never be possible for you, leg raises higher, you can stay in deep stances, asian squat was impossible before, now I can stay there like I would sit in a chair (actually even better). Gym is definitely good addition and I will never quit totally with weights but martial arts with kicks opens a whole new world, at least did for me and many others.
You have this unique delivery and presentation of talking to normal everyday people. You're the only one I've seen that's talking to everyone. So helpful. Thanks!
My favorite thing about her videos is her acknowledgement that some of us are still incredibly inflexible. So many people that give stretching tutorials just throw you into the deep end with moves that are impossible to do unless you're already flexible. Like... what benefit is there if we can't even do that? Where do I start? @Livinleggings addresses this problem in detail, and it's awesome. Much appreciated. (I'll keep working on it!)
Actually she does that too. Including in this video. There is a steep jump in terms of difficulty between exercise 1 and 3. Exercise 2 ("the cossack") and exercise 4 - are going to wreck someone's knees for sure, with that seated internal rotation which is practically forced. She herself is in excellent shape and a lot of things are presented as straightforward, while they are not. A lot of the shown stuff comes with some hefty pre-requisites, as if it was tailored to an inside audience, and will not be possible to perform for quite a few population groups. Speaking as someone who works in the fitness industry for decades. Outside of this little speed bump, the videos are on point.
Absolutely. I also instantly recognized that I can probably do one of these moves and the others I know I don't have the strength to do to even get the stretch.
I am 60 years old and I think I did fair (not perfect obviously) for the first time. I’ll keep practicing 😊 What I like about this program is focusing on mobility movements, in addition to the yoga. Staying mobile has become more important to me as I have gotten older.
The best flex teacher ever I accomplish so much flexibility in 20 minutes? Wow tysm your teaching deserves to be paid for, but good thing it’s not I need this
Can honestly say, I've watched many videos trying to find help to improve my situation with poor hip region mobility, I don't believe I've watched one like this, it feels so different but looks very effective, I don't think I come close to achieving what you achieve easily, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to your calming voice. A+ 🤙🏼
I’m 52 and started doing deep squats when I turned 50. I was hoping to rewind the time on my body and voila! Deep squat and hanging on a bar daily was miraculous to my old but now young body 💪🏼
In my mid 60's and have some mobility/flexibility issues after an accident. I'll definitely be working on the shin box! Currently a knee and hip do not allow me get up off the floor without using my arms. Getting up on leg power alone is my goal this year. Thank you ♥
As a 68-yr old male with congenitally short hamstrings (not self-diagnosis!) this is way outside my comfort zone but I'm giving it a go. Not easy is an understatement! But I am where I am, so improvement is improvement! Thanks for some really clear and well-explained exercises. Thank goodness for a block!!
My entire body is super tight. I am starting at No.1 and my arms swing just about every direction. Thank you for these great exercise tips. I think they are beneficial in long term.
I am laughing as I watch this video, because as of today, I don’t think I can do any of these. Runner and mountain biker here, who neglects stretching although I should know better. Will give this a try and hopefully I’ll be able to do them. Thank You! I just subscribed.
I thought I would try these as an add on to a previously planned workout. After warming up I did 3 sets of 10 shin boxes and decided it was time for a shower. Thanks for the motivation.
Greetings from Costa Rica!! I love the way you talk.. i just found you, yesterday!! I did some moves and they all did the magic for my lack of flexibility
Every since I busted my back I live on the floor. (Not at work of course) I realise I go thru these motions every time I get up to get something. Watching a show with a cup of tea, about 8 of those up / down roate I have pretty good fexibility and balance which must come from that because I'm 45 and sure dont go to the gym Love these videos ... spreading the word!
I just did these in earnest today for the first time and they kicked my butt. I realized I've spent way too long doing familiar exercises. So thank you for this 🙏
That 90/90 was awesome! Adding the shin box was great too! I could barely do number 4 because of my super tight adductors, hamstrings, and iliopsoas (yes, my body is super messed up). But I am very excited to incorporate all of these because the internal and external hip rotation feels so great! Thanks so much!
I tried these. They are bloody hard! "Not easy" seems like a typical English understatement :-) Jokes apart, these are great exercises and I plan to them frequently. Thank you!
Wonderful. Unfortunately I now feel like 114 and require a hip Xray. This shows that I have real problems particularly annoying as I use to teach this stuff. I can only feel that its my genetics overtaking my health. Well its good to have goals. Thank you for putting this knowledge out there.
I have just found your channel and I am one happy sore hip female. Your presentation is excellent, I love your relaxed radio friendly voice. Thank you.
Im 69 , female, this looked impossible to me.but I’m working on step 2. It always amazes me that fake it till you make it helps me do things I thought impossible. My goal is to squat without falling over.
OMG - I now realise where I lack mobility and the possible causes of some other issues that hinder my running & cycling aspirations - great video and I will certainly persevere to improve hip mobility - thank you!
Tried your Nerve Glide for sciatica, then did the 90/90 shin box; best I've felt in 6 weeks or more. Maybe I'll try the other moves eventually but i'm incorporating these 2 into my routine. Skateboarding at 45 is hard when hips/sacroiliac/sciatic nerve (???) are out of whack - you've helped me!! Thank you so much, you're amazing!! 👏👍💖
For those of us who don't yet have the strength for these, can you provide alternatives to start with and work toward these goals? Also many sets/reps and how often do you recommend?
As these are a series of steps. I'm simply working through each step until I can't go any further then I reach just a little more. I'm getting close to doing each of these completely.
Try doing static squat holds. They’ll loosen your hips, knees and ankles so they will be better able to complete these movements. The static squats can be held for 15-20 seconds, for 3 sets. It’s a great prep movement before any lower body exercise routine.
I have had impingement for two decades, which makes me so sad and I can't open my hips in that way. I will try them! I hope I gonna improve my movement range. Bless you!!
these just popped up and since I have been having some issues related to this, despite being physically active and working out, I gave them a try....whew, looks like I have mobility issues in my hips...will do these to help with the problem.....though not being easy may be an understatement.
Nice. Tight hips. These look as if they’d really help. I did the first 2 w a little hand help. At 62, things start becoming more challenging. I’m going to try implementing them daily. Thanks
I ve been having trouble with my hip lateley, especially when I sleep on it, been kickboxing and wrestling for the past 20 or so years, eventually it caught up to me, gonna try these to see if it helps, thank you
Your videos are excellent, I really like the teaching focus and tips you provide. I noticed a reference in another video as well! Are you a physio/ sports scientist background? Looking forward to more videos, keep up the great work :)
Honestly, even doing the first exercise alone to the best of my ability helped? I could immediately feel a difference in my hips and posture when I stood up. 2 and 4 I have to build up to but the leg lifts are also rough in the best way!
Well, these appear interesting, necessary and not easy. I am 69, work out 4 days a week cardio mixing it up with stairmaster, elliptical, treadmill, sometimes Zumba. Then 2 days strength training upper and lowerbody. 💪 Headed to the gym, will try these at home tonight. This will take practice.
I have just subscribed to your channel. These exercises, for me, are not beginner hip stretches. I have 2 artificial hips and these stretches would be goals.
Very well explained stuff but without the mistakes seen on many other channel, I like the science behind , the why and how. Great job! Many will say oooh the Yoga old school has it all, the next will come and say streching is bad and so on, by experience, myself being an instructor in Combatives and Shooting, for example as mobility is a must but flexibility as well and therefor you won#t get far without some stretches for flexibilty especially at age, I am 59 by now. We have evolved and any student or instrcutor should take into account that scinece often proof there are sometimes better methods or adaptions in execution for modern mankind, than the ancient did, we drive cars and do not ride horses anymore that much, people say only this or that works, talking in b/w knowing that their stuff lacks therefor, they have to defend their stuff as the only method. But life has many more colors and nunaces. Nice Work again, thank you! 🙏❤🙏
I did the first one in physio therapy but with the other leg stretched out, so it was straight. So so difficult and unnecessary. Thank you for this video!
Gosh I found these different and great value; hip replacement left me unable to figure out how to restore some aspects.. the first exercise revealed the weakness.. Thanks!
No. 2 & 4 both have a Hurdler stretch in them. This stretch is known to cause issues with hips and it is often (not always) discouraged these days even for hurdlers. Just a thought.
Starting today. Can only do 1st one but I can do both the 90/90 & the shin box😅. 2 sets of 10 whew. I go twice a day 6 day a week and let you know by 6/25. Thnx ✌️
These look amazing! I have a bit of belly that will prevent me from doing all of these, so gonna work on my body fat first. But DEFINITELY revisiting this video later
Number 2, I prefer an outer rotation. A little stool is better, along with another aid in helping get up. My knee came into pain and it said ow. Number 1 on the floor, awful for the bottom, much better on a little stool until the bottom gets accustomed to it. I am also older than you, as you age you need to do it differently you need modifications. I am happy got my modified version. Maybe one day can do it like you, but in the mean time, I am content with what I can do now.
wow super impressed with those moves. As someone that spends alot of time in the car, these are certainly something I need to do more of. Thanks for the great video!
Everyone will be different in how often is appropriate depending on experience and other daily activities so just try scaling back what you do bit by bit until you find a frequency that doesnt leave you sore 👍🏼
Dear Liv. Thanks for offering more healing into the world. Much appreciated. How would you modify the 90/90 if you have trouble keeping an upright, engaged core as you move in and out of the rotations due to narrow range of motion or lack of experience with the exercise? Thanks for sharing your gifts.
You could lean back a little and prop yourself up with yours hands - I also have a more beginner friendly hip mobility video coming soon so eyes peeled for that one!
One day I might be able to manage part (1) of the first one... What is missing here is how to get from stiffness to be able to attempt these challenging moves!
Great video! Thank you for making it. A quick correction, at the end of the video you mention to go watch a quad stretch video, but there is no box showing the video to click on.
I have a minor meniscus tear in my knee that I've been babying for months- the very first excersize hurt my knee so bad I'm probably set back for a while now. I thought these excersizes might help my knee pain but instead they made it worse.
Nice exercices !! Do I need to warm up before or as a hip warm up ? I practice yoga in the morning. Would you Say before or After my session ? Thank you so much 🙏✨☀️
Extremely impressive leg strength, esp for someone who has little to no leg muscle definition and I by NO MEANS mean it in an insulting way. I'm simply saying you can never judge a book...very impressive! THESE TAKE A LOT OF LEG STRENGTH!

Try doing static squat holds. They’ll loosen your hips, knees and ankles so they will be better able to complete these movements. The static squats can be held for 15-20 seconds, for 3 sets. It’s a great prep movement before any lower body exercise routine.
Can’t do the first two without stabilising myself with hands down behind. Doing it with arms up is a no go. Hopefully will update with improvement.

Glad your videos popped up in my feed!!! Great info!!
How many repetitions would you recommend? How long should i stay in each position? How many times a week should i do these to improve mobility ?
Super Video and super inspiring mobilität exercices, i will try still today, thanks and nice greetings from germany
Very well explained stuff but without the mistakes seen on many other channel, I like the science behind , the why and how. Great job! Many will say oooh the Yoga old school has it all, the next will come and say streching is bad and so on, by experience, myself being an instructor in Combatives and Shooting, for example as mobility is a must but flexibility as well and therefor you won#t get far without some stretches for flexibilty especially at age, I am 59 by now. We have evolved and any student or instrcutor should take into account that scinece often proof there are sometimes better methods or adaptions in execution for modern mankind, than the ancient did, we drive cars and do not ride horses anymore that much, people say only this or that works, talking in b/w knowing that their stuff lacks therefor, they have to defend their stuff as the only method. But life has many more colors and nunaces. Nice Work again, thank you! 🙏❤🙏
Thank you,I've never seen these moves in full extension!
I did the first one in physio therapy but with the other leg stretched out, so it was straight. So so difficult and unnecessary. Thank you for this video!
Gosh I found these different and great value; hip replacement left me unable to figure out how to restore some aspects.. the first exercise revealed the weakness.. Thanks!
No. 2 & 4 both have a Hurdler stretch in them. This stretch is known to cause issues with hips and it is often (not always) discouraged these days even for hurdlers. Just a thought.
Starting today. Can only do 1st one but I can do both the 90/90 & the shin box😅. 2 sets of 10 whew. I go twice a day 6 day a week and let you know by 6/25. Thnx ✌️
I'm not doing it now but you are correct. GOOD JOB.
Perfection is not required :).. You are the best. Love your videos.
These look amazing! I have a bit of belly that will prevent me from doing all of these, so gonna work on my body fat first. But DEFINITELY revisiting this video later
Thanks for making them look so easy 😵 Practice, practice... Nice presentation.
wow, just loved all of these, which I could do them but it took some effort... which is what I like about it...thanks you are brilliant!
I love your accent and everything you show us. Thank you.
Im working on the first stretch - thanks, ill cat up with you in a bit !
Number 2, I prefer an outer rotation. A little stool is better, along with another aid in helping get up. My knee came into pain and it said ow. Number 1 on the floor, awful for the bottom, much better on a little stool until the bottom gets accustomed to it. I am also older than you, as you age you need to do it differently you need modifications. I am happy got my modified version. Maybe one day can do it like you, but in the mean time, I am content with what I can do now.
You definitely Walk the Talk !!! Inspiring demo.
Genius.. !! I have been raving about these type of exercises to competitive sprinting athletes, some have listened and improved a lot! great video!
it seems hard to me but i will try & doing them
My goodness 😮 you’re fantastic absolutely stunning and amazing ☺️☺️☺️
wow super impressed with those moves. As someone that spends alot of time in the car, these are certainly something I need to do more of. Thanks for the great video!
I follow this video daily for the past week.
Great! How often do you recommend doing those? I always find my hips feeling a bit sore after doing mobility too often. :(
Everyone will be different in how often is appropriate depending on experience and other daily activities so just try scaling back what you do bit by bit until you find a frequency that doesnt leave you sore 👍🏼
The first exercise is already hard!😂😂I really needed this obviously..
Awwwww. Keep it up. You can do it!!🙂🙂
Excellent stuff, hips are without doubt my weakness after sitting on a laptop all day. Thank you
Im blown away by your amazing teaching abilities - I'm astounded! 💕💕 this makes doing all this so much more motivational - thank you
Great explanation, step by step! Thanks!
What a glorious peaceful day....keep pushing on 👍
Fantastic video! Thank you for the knowledge!
Dear Liv. Thanks for offering more healing into the world. Much appreciated. How would you modify the 90/90 if you have trouble keeping an upright, engaged core as you move in and out of the rotations due to narrow range of motion or lack of experience with the exercise? Thanks for sharing your gifts.
You could lean back a little and prop yourself up with yours hands - I also have a more beginner friendly hip mobility video coming soon so eyes peeled for that one!
One day I might be able to manage part (1) of the first one...
What is missing here is how to get from stiffness to be able to attempt these challenging moves!
Thank you so much for the tips on the first exercise, I bum shuffled and really couldn't stop it. So excited to try out the new methods tomorrow 😁
I can't believe how much easy this fix was, brilliant thank you
Great video! Thank you for making it. A quick correction, at the end of the video you mention to go watch a quad stretch video, but there is no box showing the video to click on.
Damn, you are so good for media, it is a pleasure to watch your movies and listening to your voice
I have a minor meniscus tear in my knee that I've been babying for months- the very first excersize hurt my knee so bad I'm probably set back for a while now. I thought these excersizes might help my knee pain but instead they made it worse.
Thankyou, im trying to sit crossed leg but knees wont go down, trying a few things to help out.
Nice exercices !! Do I need to warm up before or as a hip warm up ? I practice yoga in the morning. Would you Say before or After my session ?
Thank you so much 🙏✨☀️
No you don’t need to warm up for these kinds of movements, they serve as a good warm up in themselves so I would recommend before!
Your enthusiasm makes me want to do this. Thanks!
Extremely impressive leg strength, esp for someone who has little to no leg muscle definition and I by NO MEANS mean it in an insulting way. I'm simply saying you can never judge a book...very impressive! THESE TAKE A LOT OF LEG STRENGTH!
Rep suggestions to perform for each exercise? Thanks so much
