Standing Hip Flexor and Reach
September is here! This month’s WOW’s will focus on stretching out the hip flexors. The hip flexors are a group of muscles that bring your thigh towards your stomach. These muscles have the tendency to become weak and tight if you sit or have poor posture.
Regular practice of stretching and strengthening the hip flexors will improve posture, core strength, and decrease hip pain.
Exercise: Standing hip flexor and reach.
How to perform: Stand up tall and place the right foot in front of you and place the left foot behind you. Bend the right knee, keep the left knee locked, and reach the left arm up and over. You should feel a deep stretch in the left hip flexor.
Duration: Hold for 30 seconds and repeat on both sides.
