Trying to improve your Hip External Rotation?



Trying to improve your Hip External Rotation?

Here’s a great exercise to help you challenge your range of motion.

Grab 2 @stickmobility or 2 dowels, drive both sticks into the ground as hard as you can.
     – Think “ribs to pelvis”
     – Stay nice and tall from knee to head
     – Keep knee of the active leg inline with the hip
     – Try and drive your heel to touch the stick
     – Hold isometric contraction for 5-15seconds
     – Repeat for 5-10reps
     – Switch sides

I love this variation of active hip External Rotation because the half-kneeling position forces you to also stabilize with the stationary hip.
