How to Strengthen the Hip Flexor

[Rednose440]

Uh isn't your hip flexor in the front of your legs, not directly over your hips? good exercises though, even though if a personal trainer doesn't know much about human anatomy it makes me worry about if he really knows what he's doing.

[saxlera]

hip flexors are "Areas in your hips" k? k? Allright?

[PauliAmazing]

@saxlera and thighs

[mrhuge815]

@saxlera he learned that getting 'certified'

[hunkyjelly]

hes not even pointing to them, idiot.

wow - this guy is late for his Jersey Shore meeting

[tbristol37]

hey i heard strengthening the hip flexor will make you faster... is that true?

[dkblade27]

@tbristol37

yes it will. hip flexors are huge in sprinting.

[EricDDGFox]

@dkblade27

very



[TheMathiasJunior]

@tbristol37

coaches and athletes feel it increases ability to have a long stride, which is associated with good sprinting. so lots of people seem to think yes, try it.

FOCKER?

[cyanidesan]

what's with all the negative comments?

[bethslifebeforedeath]

stop saying a'righ!

[bemtikru]

this guy should spend more time reading about human anatomy, and less time in the tanning salon

[ventea]

@bemtikru Thats an awfully helpful comment.. Sounded like he knew his anatomy fine, are you really busting on him for saying toes at the end, instead of feet? Tanning comment made me laugh, proved what I suspected :)

[galahad524]

@ventea besides not knowing where the quads and hip flexors are, yeah, he seems to know anatomy.

[EFTGym]

@galahad524 HA yeah - those are two easy to miss ones hahaha

[dimonai01]

@bemtikru why is that?

[xlADAMS13]

i pulled my lower glute, upper hamstring. Its kinda by the hip flexor. What should i do?

[JordyBT]

Alternate squat thrusts work wonders for the hip flexors.

[sylvam]

Since when is the hipflexor (ilacus and psoas) on the SIDE of the hip??!!! Is this dude for real-------?

[alicat474]

he kinda looks likke the guy from mis doughtfire lol

[getchizzled]

this is pretty much a lower ab workout

[sm4rts]

great tips, i'm a football player working on his comback. I've been experiencing hip, low back weakness...i think this will help a lot. THANK YOU.

[CoachSore]

I am appalled by this. This exercise is far too advanced for the average exerciser. There is a large room for error and good potential for injury. Not to mention he points to the incorrect muscle group when referring to hip flexors.

[Soloflexforever]

@CoachSore

In 100% agreement.

I've seen trainers like this really screw people up.

@CoachSore Maybe if your WEAK!

[flamingpyroman]

@CoachSore Define "average exerciser." I wouldn't call the elderly, those under physical therapy, or those with no exercise experience "average." I'm willing to bet most anyone at the gym could execute these exercises with very little chance of error.

[trevfrank]

"alright"

[Silent13Assassin]

too many people use the word "core" improperly
