5 Hip Flexor Exercises for Stronger Running

Desk job by day, runner by night? 💻👟 If you're constantly battling that "tight" feeling in your hips, listen up. The real culprit might not be tightness... it's often WEAKNESS. Sitting keeps your hip flexors in a shortened position, but it doesn't make them strong. When you finally break free for a run, they fatigue quickly, leading to poor form, less power, and that all-too-familiar ache. The fix? Stop just stretching and start strengthening! 💡 A simple move to try right now: Sit tall in your chair, and slowly lift one foot an inch off the floor without leaning back. Hold for 3-5 seconds. Feel that? You're waking up those crucial running muscles. Building a little strength here can be a complete game-changer for your stride and help keep injuries at bay. #WhyRun #UKRunners #RunningTips #InjuryPrevention #StrengthForRunners #HipFlexors #RunningCommunity
