𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐨𝐫𝐬? 🤔 ⁣
⁣
It’s common, & with logical reason as many of us are forced to hang out with them in a shortened position for much of the day! 😢 ⁣
⁣
However, just because something is short or FEELS tight, doesn’t mean it’s strong or functional by default. ⁣
⁣
So, why not work on strengthening them like any other muscle? 🤷🏼‍♀️ ⁣
⁣
The magic 🪄 of strength training is in the range of motion we do it in. Train from long to short, isometrics, & reciprocal movements that are relevant to human function for best results. 🤩⁣
⁣
In this reel⤵️⤵️⤵️⁣
🎯 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐨𝐧/𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 - the band provides accommodating resistance as you get higher into hip flexion, demanding stability at the core. Bonus - you will automatically drive the floor down with standing foot, engaging the posterior chain. This is money for application to anything gait. ⁣
⁣
🎯𝐏𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐥 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐒𝐋𝐑 - We have one quad that crosses both the hip & knee. Because of this, when we shorten it in both it’s roles, it can cramp up on us! One major hang up on a pistol squat for many people. This position also demands the abs to hold that pelvis in place so your hamstring can slacken enough to allow a straight knee. ⁣
⁣
🎯Regress with 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝! ⁣
⁣
🎯Lastly, swap the role to an 𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 hold as you extend opposite hip. ⁣
⁣
Stretch if you want, but try strengthening your hip flexors & you will likely find function improves ;). ⁣

An oldie but goodie to kick off the week!!
