@nerd1384 I find since it's hard to picture the femur, I just think of where the knee is pointing.

People, you realize that the movement and what it stretches is the opposite? She is INTERNALLY rotating her hip (as shown by the femur rotating internally and foot swinging outward). That means this is an EXTERNAL hip STRETCH. You don't stretch something by contracting it. The Quads work to extend the knee, you stretch them by flexing the knee. You stretch internal hip rotators by rotating the hip externally. Therefore this internal hip rotation movement is an external hip rotator stretch.

Actually, this video is streching the 6 six external rotators and contracting the internal rotators---glute minimus, medius, and TFL. Check out Aaron Mattes's Active Isolated Stretching.

this is an internal stretch you idiot, your thinking bc the foot is going outside its external, but the femur is rotating inward, u idiot

[rauleashca]

yap, this is internal stretch of the hip. and i found it really efficient !

[cappaslangmurderer]

it is internal actually, the tibia goes external, femur goes internal.

This is an example of an external hip rotation stretch, NOT internal.
