Poor hip mobility robs you of your ability to generate and absorb force in both the upper and lower body. Poor hip mobility may generate low back pain, knee pain, even shoulder pain. So everyone needs tri-plane or 3D hip mobility. Squats, deadlifts, kettlebell swings, leg presses, and jumps do a decent job of dealing with hip flexion/extension, but none of these exercises do much to facilitate frontal or transverse-plane movement. Most exercises are done bilaterally and loaded symmetrically. That doesn't make them bad, but your ability to move well may be compromised if you don't add some variety to your routine. Time to mobilize the hips in some new ways, like with this stretch. – Kyle Norman
