July Reset Week 3: Hip Pain

Is It Weakness or Stiffness

​

Hey there,

Let’s talk hips because this week’s “Got Pain?” spotlight is one of the most common complaints I hear:

“Is my hip pain or stiffness caused by tight muscles—or weakness?”

Here’s the truth: your hip needs both strength and mobility to function well.
​ But more often than not, that tight, stiff feeling you're dealing with?
It’s actually your body’s cry for strength, not just stretching.

5 Key Moves to Strengthen + Mobilize Your Hips:

This week’s video includes a powerful combo of moves that target both strength and mobility:

1. Glute Bridge Marches – Wake up those glutes and build hip drive
   ​
   ​
2. Standing Hip CARs – Improve joint control and mobility
   ​
   ​
3. Side-Lying Hip Circles – Target small but mighty stabilizers
   ​
   ​
4. Modified Side Plank with Clamshell – Activate those side glutes (hello, glute med!)
   ​
   ​
5. 90/90 Hip Mobility Stretch – Open and realign your hips with control
   ​
   ​

These aren’t random. They’re intentional, functional movements that support walking, climbing stairs, and standing without a limp or “hip dip.”
