Tight Hip Flexors Limit Performance

Posted May 26 2010 4:27pm
Tight hip flexors will limit your performance on the field or court. Tight hip flexors will also lead to other leg injuries. A good dynamic flexibility exercise for you would be hip rotations.



Do external hip rotations (pictured above) and internal hip rotations every day to improve your speed and athleticism.

If your hip flexor muscles are not flexible, you will not even be a good athlete in your sport(s)! Tight hip flexors also lead to some painful injuries (like pulls and strains) that are hard to recover from. Every athletic movement involves your hips so condition them continually!

Great athletes dominate dynamic movements with the hips, glutes, quadriceps and hamstrings. Lateral speed is particularly created and maintained by the strength of the glutes and hips. There are a host of injuries that arise when your hips are tight causing your glutes to not fire properly.

Check out " Sports Fitness Hut's Hips and Glutes Training Guide for Athletes " to see a full program designed to help you compete at a high level!

Other things being equal, a muscular, powerful athlete will outperform a fat, slower or skinny, weaker athlete. Sports Fitness Hut's Fat Blaster Athletic Power Training System will give you your "lean and mean" athletic machine!
