04 Nov 🤔Been working out with power bands or therabands around your knees

Love to know what’s the best exercise to strengthen your hips🦵
😬Been told by personal trainers and physiotherapists that you have weak hip muscles

📚In a study done by Lewis et al. Journal of athletic training 2019, the study looked at 🦵hip muscle activity during resisted side stepping. They got participants performing side stepping with the resistance band in one of the 3 positions. Around the knees, ankle and feet.

😲The study found that placing the band around the feet produced the most activation in the gluteal muscle improving the therapeutic goal of increasing muscle tone and strength in the hip muscles.

So next time you are thinking about increasing strength of your 🦵hip muscles using resistance bands place them around your feet 🦶and perform side stepping and banded movements!
