The daily, consistent approach is definitely the winner here. It's about making it a habit. Great insights on keeping those knees healthy by addressing the hips!

Yes, and incorporate them into your warm-ups and cool-downs.

Agreed. Even short bursts throughout the day can make a difference.

Daily, if possible, even for just 5-10 minutes. Consistency is key for long-term improvements.

How often should these hip mobility drills be done?

Excellent array of exercises and justifications! CycleStrategist and HealthExplorer, your insights into hip flexor tightness and extension for your respective activities are spot on. PowerLifterPro, the glute weakness leading to valgus collapse is a classic scenario.

For runners, improving hip extension is crucial to a powerful stride and reducing anterior knee pain. Couch stretch and active hip flexor stretches (like a lunge stretch with posterior pelvic tilt) are excellent.
