Exercise: Single Leg Resisted Hip Flexion End Range Isometric Hold
Purpose: To improve hip flexor strength and endurance, and core stability in a standing position
Who It's For: Anyone who needs improvement in hip flexor strength, endurance and core stability in a standing position
Why We Love It: Because it strengthens a muscle group that is often stretched when it needs to be strengthened
Procedure:
Stand with your legs parallel with feet shoulder width apart with a small loop band around your feet
Keeping your spine straight, lift one knee up towards your chest as high as you can without discomfort, without losing a stacked spinal position, and without losing balance
Hold for 5-10 seconds. You should feel your core, hip flexors and quads working the most
Return the foot to the ground
Repeat 4-6 times on each leg
