Jenna's Hip Stability Challenge

Let's walk through your day. Did you go up any stairs? Did you bend over to pick something up?

All of these require balance.

Even walking requires balance. It's like standing on one leg over and over again. And hip stability plays a major role in maintaining balance.

If you don't have good hip stability, at the end of the day you're probably feeling pain in your lower back.

Instability can be caused by:

1. Poor posture

2. Sedentary lifestyle

3. Aging

4. Repetitive activities

5. Muscle imbalances

Let's take a deeper dive into what muscles help you stabilize:

Try these as you read…

• Hip flexors: Lift your leg up in the air

• Hip extensors: Bring your leg back behind you

• External rotators: turn your femur bone outward (turn your foot out)

• Internal rotators: turn your femur bone inward (turn your foot in)

• Hip abductors: bring your leg out to the side

• Hip adductors: bring your leg towards your midline.

To improve your balance and stay pain-free, strengthening these stabilizers and improving mobility is key.
