Exercises We Do: Banded Hip Flexor March π¦΅
Don't sleep on your hip flexors! These muscles are working every time you walk, run, climb stairs, or get out of a chair - yet most people never train them directly.
The setup: Loop a resistance band around both feet and march in place, driving your knee up against the band's resistance.
Why it matters:
β
Strengthens hip flexors for better running mechanics
β
Improves single-leg stability and balance
β
Helps prevent compensation patterns that lead to back pain
β
Builds core control through dynamic movement
Start with lighter bands and focus on controlled movement - no momentum, just pure hip flexor strength! Then, maybe graduate to a kettlebell!
Strong hip flexors = better movement in everything you do πͺ
