Strengthening hip flexor muscle: two elastic movement recommendations

Strengthening hip flexor muscles: Recommended for two elastic movements!

　　Hip flexor movements are very important movement modes in our various sports. Strong hip flexor strength can help you perform better in various running and jumping exercises

　　For example: During running and jumping, very strong hip flexor muscle groups are needed to support you in movements!

　　How to train hip flexor muscle groups?

　　Let’s first understand hip flexor muscle groups: iliopsoas muscle, rectus femoris, and sartois muscles are the main muscle groups responsible for hip flexor joints, among which iliopsoas muscles are the dominant movements

　　Iliopsoas muscles are composed of two muscles, the iliacus muscles and the Psoas Major muscles. The iliopsoas muscles start from the pelvis (Pelvi Crest's inner surface of the iliac bone, connected to the femur (Femur thigh bone). The psoas major muscle starts from the lumbar segment of the spine and is connected to the femur (thigh bone).

　　The iliopsoas muscle is the dominant muscle of hip flexion. The iliopsoas muscle without strength can cause lordosis or a flat back. Electromyography studies show that when we stand, healthy iliopsoas muscle can provide good support for our waist; but if the iliopsoas muscle is too tight for a long time, it will cause hip instability, causing compensation for surrounding muscles.

　　If the iliopsoas muscle is very weak, the ability to flex hips will decrease, which means that your ability to lift your legs will become worse, making you feel that it is more difficult to stand up from a chair or go uphill. For runners, the stride will be greatly reduced.

　　Today I want to give a big Home introduces two simple and effective movements to train your hip flexor muscles. You only need one elastic band!

　　Action 1: Lean on your back and hook your legs!

　　Fix the elastic band to one end, then put your feet on the other end of the elastic band, lengthen the elastic band, and perform reverse hooking legs!

　　The resistance of the elastic band can be adjusted by yourself

　　Action 2: Bending over to run

　　Set the elastic band with one foot, support your body shoulder-width with both hands shoulder-width, present a push-up preparation posture.

　　Start action: bend your right foot and flex your knees and stay forward and close to your chest for a second, then put it back down and return to the starting position, and change the other foot to lift it, repeat the movement.

　　When you are more skilled in movement and find a rhythm, you can try to quickly lift your legs and run
