Hip Flexor Stretches - Hips Stretches for Flexible Hips

Hip Flexor Stretches the Psoas Muscles responsible for tight hips. Use these Hip Flexor Stretching Exercises for more hip mobility, less injury and a pain free Weight Training Workout.

Although poor flexibility is detrimental to a pain-free healthy life, poor hip stability can be fatal given the high incidence of hip fractures due to instability, especially among old people.

Hip Flexor Stretch

Steps

1. Lie on your back on a bench with one of your hip {say right} at the edge.

2. Now pull the knee to your chest. The weight of the leg itself will stretch the front of your hip.

I love to do this stretch after my aerobic training.
