Beginner Hip Extension
Quick Classes (15-35 Mins)
•
19m
A fundamental action in any activity, from walking to being explosive in any sport, hip extension is vital. If you don't enough, you're gonna find that movement elsewhere in the body. Left unaddressed, this is where problems occur.
In this session we work through some expansion for hip extension, exploring the passive stretch and then working through 2 rounds of P/RAILs at lower intensities for longer holds. Then we back that expansion up with a set of passive range holds on each side.
Equipment Needed:
A yoga block (or stack of books)
A towel or something soft for under the knee
