Exercises for the hips usually focus on the big movements, especially flexion and extension with squats and lunges. Often overlooked are the muscles that control hip rotation. Try this rotation exercise for hip strength and stability. I’ve included two variations, one on your knees and one in standing.
You can increase the challenge in standing by going ‘hands free’ and not having a hand on a wall, chair back, or other object. This is a great way to work on balance, but make sure that you’re continuing to get good quality movement through the hip and pelvis if you do this.
Stay fit!
