🍉Why You Need to Strengthen Your Hip Flexors (And the 4 Best Exercises)
.
👚Why do the hip flexors matter? Not only because most people don’t focus on strengthening their flexors, but also because every day we do things that both weaken and shorten (or tighten) them.
.
🎒And then if you go to the gym for a workout after sitting at the desk all day and you don’t stretch out and strengthen your hip flexors, you can compound that bad posture, creating muscle imbalances.
.
🎒How does this happen? Because you’re essentially training muscles while they’re in the incorrect position and reinforcing that position every time you move.
.
⛑By not doing exercises that strengthen the stabilizer muscles in the hip flexors that keep the pelvis in line, you set yourself up for improper positioning of the hips.
.
⛑This can then lead to hip and knee injuries by promoting incorrect foot placement while running.
That’s because the deep muscles of the hip (including the piriformis and quadratus femoris) play a critical role in hip stabilization.
.
💀When was the last time you went to the gym just to get in a hip flexor workout?
Probably never.
