Want To Be A Better Athlete? Get Swivel Hips!

Listen to me carefully all want-to-be great athletes! If your hip muscles are not flexible, you will not even be a good athlete in your sport(s)! There's a reason that cornerbacks in the NFL make loads of cash: they have great speed/quickness and the best swivel hips around!

There are some good exercises to help get your hips on a swivel. Do these exercises before and after your workouts to help loosen those tight hip flexor muscles.

Kneeling and Lunging Hip Flexor Stretches






Hip Flexor (Psoas) Stretch




Front and Side Leg Swings






Lying Leg Raises



Some good hip exercises during your workouts are side shuffles, cariocas, tapiocas, back pedal turn and runs, lateral lunges and lateral step ups. Now get your hips on!

If you need more help, check out Lee Taft's speed program below:



Other things being equal, a muscular, powerful athlete will outperform a fat, slower or skinny, weaker athlete. Sports Fitness Hut's Fat Blaster Athletic Power Training System will give you your "lean and mean" athletic machine!
