🔑The often-neglected, commonly complained about "tight hip flexors" can really be avoided if we actually load and strengthen this region of the body.
⠀
🔑Most folks fail to load the hip flexor muscles, which are important contributors in all sprinting, running and sporting endeavors that require flexion of the hip to occur.
⠀
🔑The key to strengthening this area is to spend quality time under tension via isometrics, eccentrics and through tempo work.
⠀
🔑The mini-band is a great tool to begin providing strength work to the hip flexors, which can then be progressed to the utilization of sliders, bands and equipment of that nature.
