  5. Hold the lifted position for a moment, feeling the contraction in your hip flexor muscles.

Side Lying Hip Flexion Static Tips

  1. Position yourself on your side, with your legs extended and stacked on top of each other. Make sure your body is in a straight line from head to toe, with your head resting on your bottom arm for support.
  2. Engage your core by drawing your belly button in towards your spine. This will help stabilize your body and ensure proper form throughout the exercise.
  3. Begin the movement by flexing your top hip, lifting your leg towards the ceiling. Focus on using your quadriceps to initiate the movement, feeling the contraction in the front of your thigh.
  4. As you lift your leg, keep your foot flexed and your toes pointing towards the ceiling. This will help activate your quads even more, maximizing the benefits of the exercise.
  5. Hold the top position for a brief moment, squeezing your quads tightly. Feel the burn in your muscles and embrace the challenge. Remember, it’s through these moments of discomfort that we grow stronger and improve our fitness level.
