Pulsing Hip Extensors

This method of exercise can be used for most of the exercises within this section.

MAKE THE MOVEMENTS SMALL AND SLOW

Initiate the movement in very small pulsing actions, aiming to take 5 - 10 seconds to lower and raise your foot back down 10 - 14 inches.

You also wish to turn the foot out to the side to help work your smaller deep glut muscles (piriformis) and also the gluteus medius.

You will feel the muscles being worked more clearly using this method, as you avoid any body momentum during the action, and rely totally on muscle contraction.
