Muscle: Hip Flexors

The hip flexors are a group of muscles located at the front of your hips. They connect your upper body to your lower body and play a vital role in bending your knees and lifting your legs. You use these muscles every day—whether you’re walking, running, or even sitting down. When you sit for long periods, your hip flexors can get tight, which might make it harder to move freely.Maintaining strong and flexible hip flexors is essential for overall fitness and daily activities. They help you maintain good posture, prevent lower back pain, and improve your athletic performance. Whether you’re playing sports, exercising, or just going about your daily routine, strong hip flexors can make a big difference in how you move and feel.Ready to strengthen your hip flexors?
