I think most people involved in health and fitness are up to speed on the move to address mobility and stability at the hip as an integral part of our assessments and exercise prescription. \u00a0I know in my practice I see lots of issues with both a lack of hip stability and mobility.<\/p>\n

As I learn, practice and evolve as a professional, I find myself looking for more bang for my buck with exercises. \u00a0A few themes and trends in my own training include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Increasing emphasis on body weight exercises<\/li>\n
  2. More and more single leg training<\/li>\n
  3. Integrated movement patterns versus isolation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So, if you are familiar with Gray Cook and Mike Boyle (I am specifically referring to their writing and discussion on the joint by joint approach) you know that they advocate for increasing mobility at some joints and gaining stability at others. \u00a0Ironically, the hip has a need for more of both depending on the movement and individual imbalances.<\/p>\n

    So, I really enjoy exercises that provide some of each and meet the trends I referenced above. \u00a0I just released one such hip exercise in my “Functionally Fit” Column in PFP Magazin<\/em>e. \u00a0I call it the RDL Hip Driver.<\/p>\n

    \"rdl-hip-driver-bottom\"<\/p>\n

    \"rdl-hip-driver-top\"<\/p>\n
