Hopping for 2 minutes a day can help bone health in older men, U.K. researchers say. #WebMD

Participants did the daily hopping exercises for a year. The exercises involved movements in different directions to distribute stresses and strains throughout the hip.

The results were encouraging, researchers say, with clear visual evidence of improvements in the exercised legs. Overall hip-bone density increased 2.7% and up to 12% in some parts of the bone.

Stretching out the hip flexors can alleviate a lot of lower back pain.

Low-back pain is plaguing the nation! And if you, bike, or sit too much, tight hips could be contributing to the ache around your spine. A major hip flexor muscle, the psoas, not only draws the thigh toward the abdomen, but is also attached to the five lowest vertebrae of the spine. When the psoas shortens and tightens from activities like sprinting or cycling, it can pull on the vertebrae, creating a sensation of tightness in the low back. The good news is that stretching out the hip flexors can alleviate a lot of lower back pain. Once you are warmed up, and after every workout, you should stretch your psoas.

Half-kneeling rotation: A must-do for those who sit for long periods, this exercise improves upper-spine mobility and enhances rotation.
Lying glute stretch: The mainstay among runners can fend off lower back pain.
