Video 492 | Isometric Hip Boost: Abduction (15 minutes) with Lauren Eirk
Hips • 11-Dec-2023
If you need a quick boost, this 15-minute bodyweight workout will help you to strengthen the outer hip muscles using the resistance coming from bodyweight, a sponge ball, and a Yoga block to create the isometric exercises. Weakness in these areas can cause tightness in the trunk and spine, making it more difficult to walk efficiently, stand on one leg, as well as supinate through the foot.
We will begin to train in a standing position with a wall or chair to assist with balance. These exercises are crucial for fighting gravity as well as transferring ground forces from the foot and legs into the upper body. AS we move to the floor, experience supine, prone, and sidelying body positions. These muscles attach onto the pelvis and femur and function together with spinal muscles for core strength.
This routine can be done anywhere, anytime. It can reduce fatigue after exercise, as a prevention from injury, and to help manage your muscle strength. This can also be used as a warm-up or as a workout in itself. Isometrics are the precursor to adding any load and challenge to our body.
