How to do hip airplane exercise
First, stand on one foot, bend your knees slightly, and extend your arms out to the sides. Use your core muscles to maintain balance.
Next, extend your other leg back and bend forward, keeping your back straight.
Rotate your torso slowly and keep your legs extended outward like the wings of an airplane are spread out.
Hold the leg straight for a few seconds.
Then move the hips back to center and return to the starting position.
Common mistakes when doing hip airplane exercises
Muscle strain due to excessive hip rotation:
When practicing this exercise, if you perform excessive, uncontrolled movements, it can lead to dislocation.
Excessive bending:
Another common mistake when doing hip airplanes is hunching or bending your back too much, which can put pressure on your knees or hip joints.
Excessive leg relaxation:
When doing hip airplanes, if you relax or let your legs hang down without fully straightening them, it will not bring maximum results. When you relax your legs, the hip and gluteal muscles are not activated, resulting in the force not being able to impact these muscle groups to achieve the desired effect.
