NIce Tom. This is exactly what I need!

[@davechilling8139]

Great video Tom. Yeah you want to activate the three big muscles attaching the pelvis to the top of the femur: the iliopsoas, iliacus (inside face of pelvic bone) and the gluts (outside face of the pelvic bone) to maintain a strong and flexible hip joint. Which takes pressure off the lower back too!

[@JfBeaulieu76]

Working on it :)

Thank You For The Tip….I Find The Pigeon Pose To Be The Best For Me, Before Going To The Slopes

It would also be inteligent the antagonist muscles to loosen up the hip flexors, so streghtening the hip extensors; Glutes, hamstrings, femoral biceps and the extensor head of the adductor magnus

[@DrPommels]

my only critique is that you said 90 degrees when I think you meant 0 or 180, we start with essentially no angle from the femur to the hip. Is there a strengthening exercise you do for this to balance the amount of work we already do in flexion?

[@TAH1712]

Tom, thanks for this. Doing lunges, forwards / rearwards i easily seem to strain my hip flexures. Just attempted a few of these, left and right sideways etc and i can feel a nice new feeling stretch - did i missed a repetition recommendation ?. Would , forwards then left then right x10 =1 set. Doing 3 sets be a fair rep routine?

[@TAH1712]

Thank you Tom - only done a few but already enjoying the new stretch areas around the joint.

[@CostantinoLenzi]

We are a result of a intelligent design i have no doubt when i listen your technical body explanations

[@antonyschwarz8749]

Thanks Tom great as usual Hallelujah bless u in Jesus name
