If your hips feel restricted or you sit for long periods and feel stiff when you get up… this one's for you.
This side-lying kick works through the full range of your hip, taking the leg forward and back in a smooth, controlled swing while your core keeps the spine completely still. Strong, mobile hips make everything easier, walking, climbing stairs, getting up from a low chair.
💫 Benefits:
• Improves hip flexor and extensor strength
• Maintains and improves hip mobility and range of motion
• Challenges lateral core stability and spinal control
• Supports better gait and walking mechanics
• Helps keep hips healthy and mobile for everyday movement
Keep the movement flowing but controlled, the spine should be rock steady while the leg does all the work. Once you find your rhythm, it feels brilliant.
Don't forget to do both sides 👀
