These are great exercises to prime and protect your hips when getting back to being active.
Bridges: draw your belly button towards your spine, squeeze your glutes, then lift your hips. Hold 5-10 seconds for 10 reps.
Clamshells: lay on your side, bend your knees to about 45 degrees, and keep your feet together. Lift your top knee without letting your hips roll back. Hold 1-5 seconds for 15-20 reps.
Balancing: stand on one leg and don’t let your hips roll pop out to the side. Start with 15 seconds and work up to 2 minutes, doing 2-3 reps on each side.
