This hip workout was initially created not as a workout, but as an injury preventer when I ran track in college. I was a sprinter, mid distance runner, steeplechase, and triple jumper in college. My hip flexors have always been a big pain for me. I always had the worst groin and hip pain in high school and college from running. It got much worse when I knocked my hips out of alignment while triple-jumping in college. I could not sit down for longer than 5 minutes for over a year. I tried many treatments, went to the chiropractor, but nothing worked. I changed my perspective and instead of trying to treat my hips, I started to find ways to strengthen my hip flexors, thighs, and glutes. I started doing this workout 7 years ago and I have seen a MAJOR difference in the discomfort in my hips and groin that I struggled with for years.
