Part 3 of 3: In our final video of the Hip Series, we will cover some simple exercises to strengthen the hip joints and surrounding muscles.

If you have not seen parts 1 & 2, or have been following along, this will be the last set of exercises you perform making your hips stronger, increasing mobility, and alleviating pain.

For the exercises in this video, sets and reps goes as follows:

Banded Abductions & Extensions: 3 sets of 20 reps per side
Single Leg Bridges: 3 sets of 15-20 per side
Psoas March: 3 sets of 10-15 per side

Go ahead and give the whole series a try and let me know in the comments how it went!

In this video, we will be using a foam roller to release the four main muscles that create tension in the hips and ultimately lead to lower back pain.

These muscles are the Piriformis, Hamstrings, Tensor Facia Latte, and the Upper Quads. Decompressing these muscles will not only lead to less pain but will drastically improve mobility in your hips.

You will want to spend roughly 1-2 minutes on each muscle group depending on pain tolerance. The more you foam roll your tolerance will improve resulting in a greater release.

Opening the hips will further benefit you with the major compound lifts such as Squats, Deadlifts, and Hip Thrusts. Save this video and give these methods a try. I promise your hips and lower back will thank you.
