The hips, for example, are so important yet often neglected. They serve as a kind of boundary between the upper and lower body. In running, their role is essential: they are responsible for lifting and propelling the leg forward, stabilizing the pelvis, and helping absorb impacts with the ground. The hips should be kept mobile and flexible to allow for maximum stride length. Excessive stiffness, which can result from sitting for long periods or intense training, not only limits your range of motion but can also strain the knees and lower back, leading to pain.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, just as it\u2019s important to focus on strengthening the calves and hamstrings or stretching the piriformis and iliopsoas, it\u2019s crucial to also dedicate time to hip mobilization. Your performance and overall well-being will benefit from it.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-exercises-to-work-on-hip-mobility\">3 exercises to work on hip mobility<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Deep squat<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure id=\"attachment_91019\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-91019\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/runlovers.it\/en\/?attachment_id=91019\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-91019\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"91019\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/runlovers.it\/en\/2025\/unlocks-your-hips-for-smoother-movement\/young-woman-doing-deep-squat-exercise-over-yellow-background\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/runlovers.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Deep-Squat-Stock-Photo.jpg?fit=1200%2C842&amp;quality=75&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,842\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Konstantin Postumitenko&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Workout.
