Hip Hike

Hip Hike

Instructions

01

Stand sideways on a step, bench, or the end of a staircase in such a way that your good leg can be hung down easily.

02

If needed, hold on to the railing of the staircase for support.

03

Hang one leg off the step.

04

Keep your abs engaged and your pelvis squared.

05

Keeping your supported (affected) leg on the step as straight as you can, slowly drop your hanging leg further down. But be sure not to lower your foot enough that it completely rests on the ground.

06

Then, lift (hike) your free hip up to the level of your affected hip resting on the step by using the hip muscles in your supported leg.

07

Aim for at least 10 to 15 reps.

08

Rest, switch sides, and repeat the entire sequence.
