Fitragamuffin Trainer tip of the day:
•
1️⃣Use the elastic bands on your pants (or belt?) or pant line —to make sure you are keeping your hips level during an exercise (this can serve as a great visual cue for a compensation that happens often)
•
2️⃣You can also feel for your ASIS (your hips bones in the front) if you are more of a tactile person.
•
3️⃣if you bend forward (what I call a hip HINGE) and locate the natural creases that occur between your legs and hips, *hopefully these will be even*
Place your hands here (then move them to the side of your hips) for an even ‘feel’ of where your hips are level.
•
Having strong hips and glutes are vital for a lot of our daily activities (as well as keeping correct FORM for a LOT of exercises!)
•
I’m working on strengthening my right hip & glute right now after surgery in September.
•
This is a cue I give my clients often and wanted to share it all with you.
•
Any other visual / tactile cues you can think of for hips staying level?
