“Tight” hip flexors aren’t always short. They’re often weak, overworked, and lacking control.
Your body creates tension to protect what it doesn’t trust so stretching alone won’t fix it.
Strengthening restores control, improves range, and reduces that constant tight feeling.
If you’re feeling some tightness at the front of your hip, give these a try to strengthen the hip flexors instead of just stretching:
☝️ Front rack banded march challenges your core so your hip flexors work without your ribs flaring or pelvis dumping forward.
✌🏼Standing KB hip flexor march builds single leg strength and teaches you to drive the knee forward without arching your low back.
3️⃣ Seated leg lift over KB improves active control and strength at the top of the lift where most people are weakest.
Exhale to fully keep ribs down and move with control so your hips work instead of compensating!
Save these and add them into your training! Your hip flexors will thank you 😉
