Hey, all you athletes out there, my name is Coach CJ from Gymnazo. And today we’re going to talk about stretching out these hip flexors. If you’re someone who spends a lot of time in a seated position, say at a desk or you’re an avid cyclist, or even an avid runner, this is gonna be for you start opening up the back, open up the hips, open up the quads to feel better all day. Simple as going one foot in front of the other, hands up overhead and letting those hips drive forward and drive back, just kind of easing into that motion. Nothing too wild just yet. When you start feeling good, go a little deeper with them, say maybe 7 8 9 reps, you can even go for more. That’s feeling all right, you can do the same thing, shifting the hips to the left, and to the right. If you start to feel like you’re losing your balance, either widen the stride or even go out with your hand against a wall. As you shift ease to one side, ease to the other. start feeling that hip flexor stretch outs. And then from there, letting the hands go out in front, and you’ll drop down rotation, not just letting the upper body move but also letting the hips letting that lower body move while keeping the feet glued down. After you feel pretty good on one side, little drive forward, push up out of that and switch over to the other leg. The reason we take this motion to side to side and into rotation is because we know that this hip flexors this group of muscles is not just a single plane group of muscles. They also move side to side they also move into rotation. So if you want to get that full stretch to the entire muscle group, make sure that you get those three planes of motion in every single one of those stretches. Enjoy.
