Скачать или смотреть 1) Hip Opening with Valentino Solinas

Tight hips, and the resulting lack of range of motion, is a nightmare of the modern world. We sit most of the time during the day, we drive a lot and we tend to spend our free time also in a sitting position. Luckily for us martial artists, we sit way less than an average person with a desk job. Still, we might suffer from hip tightness.
This routine is designed to improve your current level of flexibility. If you are seeing the exercises for the first time, approach them carefully. There is no need to force any movement. Simplify or skip if something causes pain. You do not require any special equipment to perform this routine. Work on a bare floor, carpet, or a yoga mat as you feel comfortable.
You could perform this routine before or after a martial arts class, or simply as an add-on to your personal practice. If you ever practice any martial arts you know the importance of hip opening. I encourage you to try, modify, and/or add on.
How long should we hold a stretch position? Throughout my life I have always held positions for two to three minutes. The important thing is not to feel pain, but a pleasant sensation of muscle stretching. I hope this first video will be useful to you. Let me know after you've tried this sequence.
