I have never liked to do a 30 or 60 minute workout. I'll do it for a short time but I never stick with it. So this is what I do and it seems to work for me. Well into my 60s I am pain free even with arthritis in my hips. I can still drive a golf ball 260 yds and lift/move heavy objects

1 minute dips facing bar
1 minute dips back to bar
15 pullups palms facing (2/3rds arm extension)
15 pullups palms away (2/3rds arm extension)
1 minute leg balance Left, right knee hip height
1 minute leg balance Right, Left knee hip height
1 minute achilles stretch Left
1 minute achilles stretch Right
30 second bar hang
30 second bar hang right side (rt ankle touches floor)
30 second bar hang left side (left ankle touches floor)

15 minute beginner Yoga routine focused on hips

That's a good routine, you will definitely benefit from it. Perhaps over time you will increase the reps or time on each exercise, that's how I measure progress, more weight, more time, or more reps.

Yes I've already increased reps in some of my routines. They are easy to do and require no equipment other than a chinning bar. I use a granite counter with a right angle for dips.
 
I'm too busy bending, stretching, and lifting heavy objects during the day to do such exercises. :biggrin:
