HIP STRENGTH TRAINING VIDEO

Click here to watch the demo video for these movements.

The standard big strength moves such as squats and lunges are important pieces for building great hip and leg strength, but be wary of training the same patterns over and over again.

It’s nothing to do with “muscle confusion” or any nonsense like that; rather, it’s that we tend to form fixed movement patterns with consistent repetition of any skill.

Consistent repetition is the basis of motor learning!

This concept is important when trying to learn new movements and/or skills. Yet, this is a double edged sword as every repeated movement gets ingrained and fixed, even if we don’t necessarily benefit from the move and even if it’s harmful. It is generally desirable to be able to have as much freedom of movement as possible within safe ranges of motion that do not compromise our joints, ligaments, and other connective tissues.

We can accomplish this by changing position and angle of force during our exercises. This stimulates not just the local muscle, but also the neurological connections between the respective body areas and the brain.

In this video I’ll show you a few new ways to change up classic leg strength exercises. Give these a test run and let it inspire you to create some variations of your own.

Again, don’t worry too much about sets or reps.

Just see this as an opportunity to practice. Too often we find ourselves performing the same movements every day.

Absorbed in the routine of work and home life, we lose sight of our hips’ incredible potential strength and mobility. Spend even just ten to fifteen minutes a day on fundamental and creative hip exercises and you’ll notice a dramatic increase in your ability to move your whole body strongly and gracefully.

Poor movement involves a combination of strength, flexibility, and motor control/coordination so it behooves us to work on a diverse range of movement and exercise, both to keep us motivated and optimally functioning.
