EOTW - Hip Rock Backs with 1 Leg Extended

Another one of my top mobility exercises (seems I'm giving all my 'secrets' away).

I like this one as many people have tight adductors aka inner thigh muscles.

Which is understandable as most daily life and activities don't involve them needing to be worked or stretched out.

If the muscles are really tight then this can contribute to low back pain in some situations.

Stretching them out and mobilising them before a workout can help improve range of motion, helping you to get more out of the leg exercises.

Key Points

• Start on hands and knees. Knees underneath hips. Hands underneath shoulders.
• Arms should remain straight throughout entire exercise.
  
• Extend one leg straight out to side of body.
• Keeping leg straight, gently push hips back until stretch is felt in inner thigh and then return to start.
• Complete all reps on one side and then repeat with other leg.
