Hip Pain When Hiking? Try This Hip Stretching Routine 

I’m just getting into backpacking at 40 years old. I had no idea feet could go at such an angle to the ground. Who’d have thought backpacking would bring me to learn more about this body at my age. Thank you so much. Always learning.

Was struggling with hip/groin mobility when climbing, this routine has really helped open me up, I noticed a difference almost immediately!

Thanks Chase! The last few weekends my hip/groin have been seizing up on me while hiking, this weekend the worst it's been. I have a doc appt in a couple of weeks but will be doing this + the daily movement routine until then. One thing was clear right away, my hips are *tight*

Oh this one what I needed! Thank you😎

Love having my "weekends" on weekdays for a better assurance of solitude on the trails.

Thanks. Just what I needed. I’m inspired.

Thanks for this. I am a hiker and powerlifter /bodybuilder of Over 30 years. My mobility Is terrible this is a great help🙏

Thank you I just completed it after a long hike, it's great!

Beautiful spot. I went on a 5 miler this morning and I really needed this.

Absolutely fantastic stretch series. TY Chase!

This was beyond helpful for opening up my hips more. Thank you so much for sharing these!

That kid sit is a demon, wow. I felt every hour I've ever spent at a desk. Great exercises!

Another really helpful video thanks Chase. I’ve been following some of your workouts as part of my preparations to walk the Pennine Way this year. They’re definitely helping so many thanks 👍

exactly what I was looking for! I mainly struggle on hikes with hip pain in the first few days and I can immediately tell how much help this is going to be for my trip this week. Thank you so much for making this video!

Great video mate ,feeling relaxed just watching

So helpful thanks Chase 🙌🙌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Watching another brilliant video thanks Chase, but I kept getting distracted by all that beauty around you! Well done mate!.

This channel is the one!

Brilliant mate! Thank you.

Waiting patiently here for "Mountain Proof Shoulders"

Doing this asap!!!

Thanks, Chase.

Thank you! it's nice to help the chiropractor :)

These look great, thx Chase!

Just a heads up to be careful with the "kid sit". It's also called a "W" sit and is known to put a lot of pressure on the hip socket if taken to far. Some people can do this without causing damage, but many people have minor (or major) impingements in their hips that will cause damage to the hip joint if they go too far. My wife has practiced yoga for most of her adult life, hyper flexible, but has now had one hip surgery (at 38), with another surgery on the other hip coming in the next 5 years.

This is great. Thank you.

Thank ub

I think I might have dislocated my hips at the end (I have never felt a more effective stretch in my life)

👍thanks

Fuck me dude, mind blowing content. Many, many thanks

Hmmm. “W sitting” or the “kid sit” for an adult might not be a bad idea, but please don’t let your kids sit this way…developing hip joints will thank you later! Cross-legged sitting is a much better alternative for kids (and most adults) as External Rotation is much easier on the tendons, ligaments, and joint capsule. (And typically lacking in most Westerners) That much Internal rotation range of motion (from W sitting) is way outside what would be considered necessary ROM even for high level activity such as outdoor activities and sport-related activity. I’m not trying s* on you routine brother I had no problems with any of the other stretches in this video! Good content!

I know this is meant to be for hips but doing this routine seems to have pretty much sorted a knee problem that I've had for nearly three years. I've had loads of physio and advice but nothing has helped as much as doing this.

Would you recommend that people do this after a hike to stretch or as conditioning to improve one's hiking?

Man, I felt like I was going to dislocate my knees doing that kid sit. I didn’t feel tight, I just felt like my bones and joints don’t go that way

Hi , I suffer really bad Planter F . In my left foot , is there anything I can do to heal this , which is the best foot where for multiple long hikes Thankyou Gaz

I wasn't able to do the kid sit ... Are these exercises save to do with a hip dysplasia? Some movements were slightly painful :/

Is it dangerous to allow your knees to extend beyond your toes with any exercises?

Hey Chase, I had signed up for the Elements program, but I'm not able to see the full video in the App. Will it be available for Elements as well?

I just bought the knee strength program. Is the 25 minute version in that program?

Love how you can do that barefoot without getting a goat’s head burr or fifteen in your foot. 😆

I have a tight glute. Do you have a video to help stretch the area?

Whats that shirt ur wearing?

I can't even get into the kid sit!!!

It's actually bad for your legs/knees this position in this excise it actually deforms your body.. Good Luck guys..
