How to Strengthen Your Hip Flexors (So They Stop Hurting)

Everyone and their mom wants to know how to stretch their hip flexors.

Well, I hate to be the bad guy (not really), but…

Your hip flexors aren’t always tight.

Sometimes they’re weak.

Actually, more often than not they’re weak, and that weakness is manifesting as a “tight” sensation.

See, the body’s weird. And the place we feel tightness isn’t always where the actual problem occurs.

Your body is an interconnected masterwork of engineering.

So most problems are more complicated, and deeply layered than meets the eye.

Now, I’ve known people who stretched their hip flexors every day for years and years. And their hips never felt any better. They still woke up with cobwebs in their hips. They still felt tight every day.

Because the tightness wasn’t the actual problem. The weakness of the muscles was.

And when you use a simplified solution to address a complicated issue you only get momentary relief.

If you want to solve the problem forever you have to find the deep rooted cause and address it.

It’s like having a crack in your house’s foundation.

Your floor might start to bubble from the moistness.

So you can replace the floor every couple of months.

But it’s only going to keep getting warped and moist.

Because the floor’s not where the actual problem lies.

It’s your cracked foundation.

So all that being said, you need to get stronger hip flexors.

Luckily that’s very easy to do, in fact you can sit on the ground as soon as you’re done reading/watching this and start.

Here’s how to do it.
