Your core consist of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex. So, it is important to strengthen the hips, shoulder girdle and core areas. The Hip Extension exercise (prone position) is one that you should add to your athletic exercise program if you are ready for it.
1. Start by placing your hands on the ground and your feet up on the wall.
2. Proceed to bring one knee in towards your chest and then kick your leg back to the wall using your glutes.
3. Repeat for the desired repetitions and then repeat with the other leg.

Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteI've been a visitor to your blog for a while now. I've found your posts very informative, and they touch on a lot of points that others miss.
I was just wondering what your rationale was for using exercises which are performed in a prone position.
Thanks,

Hey John...thanks for visiting my blog...an athlete many times starts from the prone position. For example, football and basketball players are knocked down and need the strength and core power to recover and get up quickly..
ReplyDeleteNot all can run 30 minutes in the treadmill or eat just vegetables for months. So in very person different programs should be followed with the help of experts and nutritionist.Look fitness forum
