Train your hip flexors, you’ll be faster, stronger and you’ll have pain free hips.
.
Most hip issues that I see in any of my facilities is because of weakness not because of a mobility restriction.
.
So let’s strengthen that system.
.
Hip flexors get recruited in so many movements, hip flexion obviously, but also lateral bending of the torso, and torso rotation, along with one major one, which is to brace under load.
.
What happens is that they get over powered by the mighty hip extensors, you end up with hip flare, anterior tilt, and knee collapse on a squat as well as functional leg length problems that will affect anything from running, jumping and rowing to driving and sleeping.
.
This series takes the hip flexors through a strengthening cycle that’s extremely effective and easy to do.
.
Hit this three times a week.
