Do remember this - hips actually don't need any exercise to get better. They do a pretty good job of it all on their own if given half a chance. Trouble is, people don't give them a chance and end up with all sorts of aches and pains and sore spots. All they need is the best therapy which is walking and even then not to excess.squats 15 reps, 3 sets
bridges 15 reps, 3 sets
side lying hip abduction 15 reps, 3 sets
hip flexor raises 15 reps, 3 sets
Walking 30 min/day
cycling 20min/every other day
