Looking to get more flexible. Never been able to touch my toes and my hips are tighter than a virgin. Any recommendations?

Start addressing this first. That will help.

Trying my man. I’ve started to eat better but don’t have a clue what to do with working out. Should I just do cardio?

5 hip mobility stretches

I’ve been working on my hip mobility to try to get deeper on my squats. I’ve been doing these once a day, and before my squats and it’s seemed to help a bunch. Try these out.

Not sure if ability to touch your toes is so heavily dependent on hip mobility since it singly requires hinging at the hips. Might be other reasons you can’t touch your toes.

Most ppl looking to improve hip mobility focus on external and internal rotation.

To answer your question, go to YouTube and type “Kelly Starrett hip mobility” in the search.

Yoga. Start with a gentle or restorative yoga class. Every time the instructor acts what y’all want to work on, ask for hips and hamstrings!

I like the stretch where you get in the lunge position and lean forward only at the hips while keeping your stomach tucked and torso upright. Also hip bridges have worked for me to strengthen them. For me tightness was also accompanied with hip weakness. Daily hip stretches have helped both.

I find it best when you are working off weight to do cardio that’s safe on your knees and joints, like cycling/biking or elliptical. If you have a strider machine, those are also good. Just work up on the resistance, bring some good tunes (or a movie/YouTube) and rack the minutes and hours. Keep a consistent routine throughout the week and, combined with a better diet, you’ll see pounds slowly go down, both on the scale and around your gut. Once your around 200, I think it would be safer to start jogging/running without adverse effects on your joints. Just my thoughts
