Over the years, I have worked with hundreds of athletes (male and female). One consistent finding among many I see is weakness in the hips and core. Knee injuries are often the result of poor frontal and transverse plane stability, which is often related to weakness in the glutes (max and medius).
In order to resist valgus/rotational loads effectively, athletes must address this weakness with training. I am always looking for ways to get the most out of exercise provided it makes sense to me. So, I began using the exercise I am sharing with you today – BOSU planks with hip abduction/extension. I use both to work on the gluteus maximus and medius muscles. This exercise targets hip and core weakenss at the same time.
