There are plenty of stretches and mobility drills to strengthen the hips, but the most important is the Hip Controlled Articular Rotation (Hip CAR). It is the best way to ensure you are maintaining and strengthening the hip joint to its fullest capacity. Flexibility plus strength equals mobility. 

There are many exercises that people have used to challenge the body in various ways. Some are simple, fun and used in everyday exercise. Some others push the body to its highest limits.

It’s very important to balance out the proper amount of strength and recovery when it comes to putting together a quality training program.

The hip complex in general is such a unique bone with two very important hip joints that are responsible for so much of our movement.

One very important thing I learned when going through rehab and physical therapy is that after strengthening and lengthening I had to coordinate my movement with the rest of my body.

As we get closer to the new year, health and exercise will continue to be a topic of conversation with ourselves and others.
