These Hip[ Strengthening exercises start with isolated glute activation exercises including the single leg bridge, glute bridge march, banded clamshell, and sidling leg lift. These exercises strengthen the glute max and glute medius muscles targeting the back and lateral hip. Next we move to more integrative movements starting with the single leg romanian deadlift and single leg good morning which train single leg stability as well as hip hinge strength. These exercises also train the hamstring and spine mobility as well. Next is the split Squat which builds strength in the quads and glutes through hip extension and knee flexion. Last is the Goblet Squat which integrates everything into one fluid motion and uses the glutes, hamstrings, and quads. These are MUST DO hip strength and stability exercises for hip strength and hip mobility. This is an excellent hip strength workout for runners, cyclists, crossfit, and other athletes.Hip stability drills like these will only build your hips and allow you to do the ultimate goal which is to squat deeper and stronger. Great hip strengthening for basketball players and dancers alike.

My favorite are the Single Leg Goodmornings because I could barely do 1 when I started and now I can bang out 15.

This routine changed my life! I was suffering of lower back, hip, and knee pain, as well as plantar fascitis. I had stopped playing beach volleyball which I had been playing for over 40 years. Even getting out of the car after driving for an hour was painful. I used to walk around the car for a couple of minutes right after my 1 hr morning commute to campus because I did not want my college students to see me limping or walking all stiff. THEN A TRAINER FRIEND IN MIAMI BEACH SENT ME THIS LINK. 3 weeks later I noticed I was no longer stiff after a long drive, and had stopped popping Advils. I live without pain for the first time in almost 2 years. Even my plantar fascitis, for which I had been doing physical therapy for months and had even gotten a shot of steroids DISSAPPEARED in 3 weeks.
THANK YOU, MERCI, GRACIAS. Your video improved my life.

I'm a martial artist recovering from a lower lumbar injury. These exercises are helping me a great deal. Thank you for sharing!

I am in fairly good shape, athletic most of my life etc..I have found out in the past several years that my hip flexors, hips, glutei and lower back were very weak, causing core instability..incorporating these as well as a few other exercises has helped me increase not only strength but also flexibility and endurance..good stuff

[susanschmitz]

This was amazing, and I’m adding it to my daily stretch and strengthen routine. I’m 53 and really want to try these movements to protect my hips into my golden years. Thank you so much for sharing a clear, concise, professional video! 😁

[gloriabass]

I'm 65 and love outdoor running so this is great for me, with all the issues that come with running, thanks.

[janicealderson]

I only did 5 of each exercise - I have snapping hip and some other probs i was dealing with and was using F I A Fix exercises, for 2 years. I found these exercises here were really good strengtheners! I will have to save in favourites as found it so good - thanks Josh!

This series is preparing me for a total hip replacement! I feel like I will be more physically and mentally prepared for the recovery. Strength, stamina and concentration

[thenaturalwall]

Two years from a broken hip and tired of my usual routine. Thanks for the switch up and challenging as well!

[lesterlasa]

I learned many of these in physical therapy for my arthritis in my back awesome thanks

[katekay]

Thank you for sharing this excellent routine for hips.I am a 68 years old lady who exercises 6 days a week and I developed a little bursitis on my hips and my balance is deteriorating so I am starting this routine today.Love it!

[dnrevan]

Thank you for this video. My Left hip has been bothering me more and more, slowly, over the last 1.5 years. This has been relieving my pain and allowing me to move WAY better. I get a little emotional thinking about it, thank you.

[vaccianicoore]

I admire your squatting form so much. A new subscriber and I look forward to learning from you and your channel.

[theswingmechanic]

This is my favorite hip exercise video by far. This guy is legit. Walks the talk and talks the walk. Thanks for the content!!!

[anne-mariegilfillan]

Thank you for these amazing set of exercises. I have a total hip replacement on one side but am a very active 50+ and roller skate almost every day. I do strength training and yoga and pilates BUT i know how important my hip strength and stability is and this set of exercises, many i have done over the year, are just amazing to keep my hips strong and supple. I will try many more of your videos. Thank you!!!!

[Soberdogs]

I want to strengthen my hips for better mobility in jiu Jitsu. these exercises are awesome thanks!!!!

[bigmaguire]

You have a really impressive natural physique. Keep it up! Especially after the injuries you have had. My hips tend to be a weaker area for me, they get so sore and tight. Need to incorporate some of these. I’m a very heavy squatter and deadlifter so need to stay injury free so I can keep up my progress

[lifeisagift]

This is what I call a healthy body, mind and soul. Stay blessed 💚🙏🏻
