hip flexor

Effective hip flexor requires flexibility in the hip joints. If the hip joint is tight, the movement will be on the spine or knees, easily causing pain and injury. Therefore, maintaining hip flexibility is an important factor as we age, helping to reduce the load on the lower back and knees and keep the body moving smoothly.

Do 3 sets of 12-15 reps each.
