HIP STRENGTHENING + BAND WORK 🧰 - Top of the week! As you know hip health is crucial in longevity and keeping a strong foundation as we grow through life. These banded exercises target the muscles that aid in ranges of motions of the hips. (Flexion/extension, internal/external rotation, abduction/adduction) Hip Muscles to Target: Gluteal muscles: These muscles (gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus) are responsible for hip extension, abduction, and external rotation. Hip adductors: These muscles (adductor longus, brevis, and magnus) are responsible for hip adduction (bringing the thigh towards the midline). Hip flexors: These muscles (iliopsoas and rectus femoris) are responsible for hip flexion (bringing the knee towards the chest). Hip abductors: These muscles (gluteus medius and minimus) are responsible for hip abduction (moving the thigh away from the midline Hope this helps. As always, Peace and Movement ✌🏽 #hipstretch #healthyhips #adductors #abduction #abductors ...
