    I'm wondering what kind of mobility drills people are using as part of their stretching/cooldown/maintennace routines?

    I do a mix of Tai Chi Kung(soft), Hard Chi Kung, different kinds of kicks, and rotational stuff for the joints, hips and shoulders.

    Afterwards I do static stretching , mostly stuff for the spine, hipflexors, groin and legs.

    I showed you mine now show me yours. :p

    Universal Post x2min
    Condense x1min
    Womb x1min

    Circle hips 10x
    Circle knees 10x

    Elbow to toes 10x
    Pendulum leg stretch 10x
    Side leg stretch 10x
    Outside wheel kick 10x
    Lying leg stretch 10x

    Mermaid x1min
    Hip Flexors 3x1min

    TCK x1

    Chikung

    Hard

    I find that it helps balance out all the high intensity stuff I do.(weights, conditioning)
    It gives me a huge energy boost aswell, even if I only do some Chikung after a conditioning session I feel like going back and doing some more.

    Ankle mobility keeping weight on heel and shooting knee over toes, thorasic mobility with a size 3 basketball, and glenohumarul mobility with scapular stability by doing the scapular wall slide. When i get good at them exercises I will do overhead atg squats with a broom.

    I have anterior tilt so should I try to increase my hip flexion range of motion?

    I cant bring my knee to my chest while keeping my back off the ground like Bill Hartman recomends here. http://billhartman.net/blog/2007/08/22/targeted-mobility/
