ABDUCTORS

Shin Box Hip Flexor

BeginnerBodyweight

A floor-based mobility drill that targets the hip flexors and works on hip rotation. Moving into the shin-box shape lets you stretch the front of one hip while the other leg supports the position. It's useful for anyone whose hips feel locked up going into squats or lunges.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Sit on the floor with one knee bent in front of you, that thigh lined up straight ahead of the same-side hip.

  2. 2

    Fold the other knee out to the side so your lower leg points behind you.

  3. 3

    Rest your front-side hand ahead of your leg and place the other hand out wide for balance.

  4. 4

    Ease your chest forward until you feel a comfortable pull across the front of the rear hip.

  5. 5

    Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then swap legs and repeat.
