Open Hips, Strong Core

Here is a movement combination that will help open your hips and synchronize the stabilizing action that needs to happen in the front of your torso as you move into hip extension - the position of our back leg in walking.

This builds on last month’s exercise that gives us the flexibility to move the pelvis into extension on the lumbar spine aka low back.

Watch that your center of gravity remains facing straight ahead as you do this whether you do the exercise lying down, walking or take it the next level to climbing stairs, working out on an elliptical trainer or doing lunges.
