I've also started doing various mobility things for my hips, not on a
schedule, just when it feels like a good thing to do. There's a lot
of clicking and popping and some occasional pain, so I don't want to
overdo it.
Jim, have you learned the kettlebell windmill? I found myself with a
very sore right hip yesterday morning and it didn't really get better
all day, despite some stretching and a pleasant walk. This morning, a
few windmills each side and I'm good again.
The theory is that tight hips, sciatica, and other lower back and si
pain is often due to a tight piriformis and/or other muscles in that
area, and the windmill, once you know how to do it, can really help
loosen those up. So far for me, no other exercise does what this one
does, so I'm trying to make a point of doing these on all my non-lifting
days with a kettlebell, and without any weight as a warmup on lifting
days.
I like windmills, that's why I tried some Monday and Tuesday :-) The
results were inconclusive, so I probably won't do them with weight again
for a while.
