Your ankle to knee and knee to hip ratio can make this easier/harder due to centre of gravity position.
The three areas I've identified to work on for myself are ankle mobility, hip flexibility and hamstring flexibility.
I realised that hamstring flexibility impairs my hip mobility, and my hamstrings are good by average standards - I can touch my knuckles on the ground from standing position after warming up.
- Scalestein 9y agoAre you saying the more flexible your hamstrings are the less mobile your hips are or am I reading that wrong? My hamstrings are super tight (can't barely get to my ankles when bending over) so any tips on what you did to increase your hamstring flexibility would be welcome too!
- yomly 9y agoNo, the opposite, if your hamstrings are tight then when you are trying to flex your hips you're also having to fight against your hamstrings at the same time. Hamstring stretches are pretty well trodden, yoga or any kicking martial art will have a wealth of material for how to increase your hamstring flexibility.
