Short Class 37: Hip Extension (Quad/Psoas/Hip Flexor Specific)
KINSTRETCH With Beard
•
46m
We got a hip flexor/psoas specific class
Equipment Needed: Yoga blocks, something to prop your leg up on (we use plyo boxes). Extra padding for your ankle/knee and sticks for balance are optional.
A lot of people deal with “tight” hip flexors/psoas, and typically tightness = weakness, so utilizing the drills in this class will greatly help remedy “tightness” by strengthening and expanding range of motion in this specific area.
It’s important to note - if this a weak and problematic area for you, you will definitely want to go at your own pace so limit your intensity if you have to. In the class we do 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs, but listen to your body and only do as many rounds as you feel is appropriate for yourself - maybe that’s 2 rounds, maybe that’s 1 round. Or maybe you limit the intensity each round. It’s important to gradually build up to more workload and intensity over time. Progressive overload is key, especially in areas with past issues and weakness. Over time you will get stronger and stronger.
If this is a big priority area for you it would be great to target this class 1-2x a week.
Let me know how you like the class!
