Hip Flexor Exercises

AM Workout:

• Low squat calf jumps: as many as you can, 6 times, with 30 seconds rest between sets
• Hip flexion: 150 each leg. Basically, raise one leg as high as you can, and then raise it higher quickly (like pulses only actually moving your leg) 150 times.
• Skater lunges: 5 each side w/ 15-sec iso on last, 6 times, 30 seconds rest
• Hip flexion: as many as you can, 6 times each leg, 30 seconds rest between each two (alternate legs to start). I messed up on this one and thought it was 6 total with 30 seconds rest between each one. I got the last two right! I have a feeling I'm going to feel these tomorrow.
  
• Russian twist: 6x5 each side with 15-sec iso on last, alternate sides to start
• Leg raises: 50 quick, 10 seconds rest, 50 more quick (abs for Natalie that Will, Bill, Nancy, and I all joined in on)
