Short Class 127: Hip Adduction
3 classes per week
•
30m
This is a single joint focus class for Hip Adduction
No Equipment Needed
We’ll be working 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs in our adduction base, but always listen to your body and go at your own pace. If 3 rounds feels like too much or if this is an area that's been problematic for you, just stick to just 2 rounds at first and slowly up to the third round over time - or do the 3rd round at much lower intensities.
If this is an area of past injury or weakness - make sure to keep your intensity levels low, especially during PAILs/RAILs. It’s important to gradually build up the intensity and volume over time, as the tissue in this area could be weak and may not be able to withstand high levels of force quite yet. Start off light, listen to your body, and gradually build up over time.
If you go into a full cramp during your RAILs contraction, make sure when you’re initiating from PAILs to RAILs to do so at much lower intensity. This will help decrease the chance of a cramp. You can also work in a slightly smaller range of motion (so you’re not at full end-range), this will allow help decrease the chances of cramp.
I hope your hips feel buttery after this one!
