Hip 90/90 Mobility 10 min
Ten minutes in the 90/90 hip position, rotating slowly with 30-second end-range pauses, to restore the internal and external hip rotation lost to chair sitting.
Ten minutes in the 90/90 hip position, rotating slowly between sides with 30-second pauses at each end-range, to restore the internal and external hip rotation lost to chair sitting. It's a low-intensity floor drill that needs nothing beyond a mat.
The session at a glance
- Focus: mobility
- Intensity: low
- Duration: 10 minutes
- Equipment: mat
The protocol
- 90/90 hip switches — 10 min. slow rotations, 30 s pauses at end-range.
Why this works
- Restores hip rotation. Switching between the 90/90 positions trains both internal and external hip rotation, the named adaptation.
- Sitting antidote. The drill directly counters the rotation lost to chair sitting noted in the description.
- End-range control. Pausing 30 seconds at each end-range builds usable range rather than passive flexibility alone.
How to scale it
- On tight days, reduce to 5-6 minutes and shorten the end-range pauses.
- Move slowly and stay within a comfortable range — never force the rotation.
- Prop a hand or hip on the mat for support if the position is hard to hold.
