Hip flexor strength plays a bigger role than most people realize. These muscles help you walk faster, take longer steps, and move more confidently through daily life.

Research also shows their importance in sports by providing a powerful leg drive in sprinting and agility based movements.

When hip flexors are weak, movement can slow down and extra stress often shows up at the hips, knees, or lower back. Keeping them strong supports better function, performance, and long term joint health.

Are you actually loading your ankle after a lateral ankle sprain?
Pain going away ≠ ankle being ready.

1️⃣ Assisted lateral ankle loading
Early, controlled exposure to inversion/eversion helps restore tolerance and confidence—without overloading the joint too soon.

2️⃣ Anti-supination–biased heel raises
Most lateral sprains hate supination. So we train it—intentionally loading the foot/ankle into the sensitive range to rebuild strength, stiffness, and control.

3️⃣ Lateral jump progressions
Ankles don’t fail in straight lines.
Lateral hopping trains frontal-plane force absorption, rate of force development, and reactive stability—key before return to sport.

👉 Rehab isn’t about avoiding pain forever.
It’s about progressively exposing the ankle to the demands it’ll actually face.

Shoulder strength is what keeps the joint stable while you reach, lift, push, and move your arm overhead. Because the shoulder is built for mobility more than stability, it relies heavily on strong muscles to keep everything centered and moving smoothly.

When the rotator cuff and surrounding muscles are strong and balanced, the shoulder can handle daily tasks and sport demands with less strain and a lower risk of injury.

“Are you actually training hip extension… or just hoping your glutes show up on race day?” 🏃‍♂️🍑

For runners, hip extension is a non-negotiable. It drives propulsion, efficiency, and durability with every stride.

Hip thrust variations for runners 👇
1️⃣ Single-leg hip thrust with hip adduction isometric
2️⃣ Kickstand hip thrust
3️⃣ Hamstring-biased single-leg hip thrust
4️⃣ Single-leg hip thrust plyometric

Train hip extension in multiple positions, loads, and speeds — because running is repeated single-leg hip extension under load.
If you want better stride power, improved running economy, and fewer overuse injuries, your strength work has to reflect the demands of running.

Hip rotation plays a big role in how well your body moves and produces force. It helps transfer power from the legs through the core and into the upper body during running, throwing, cutting, and lifting.

When hip rotation is limited, movement becomes less efficient and stress shifts to other areas like the knees or lower back.

Keeping the hips mobile and strong supports better performance, cleaner movement, and lower injury risk across sports and everyday activity.

Plyometric exercises help your tendons act like stronger, more efficient springs. They train your body to absorb and produce force better during jumping, landing, and quick movements. Over time, this improves how efficiently you move and helps your body handle everyday impact with more control and resilience.

Are you actually loading your groin and front hip when you stretch?

The groin often feels tight not because it’s short—but because it’s under-loaded, under-challenged, and rarely trained through its full range of motion.

Passive stretching may feel good, but it doesn’t prepare the tissue to accept or produce force at end-range.

Loaded hip mobility =
✔️ Strength + length
✔️ Increased tissue capacity
✔️ Better tolerance to running, cutting, and lateral movement

In this video 👇
1️⃣ Dynamic hip openers w/ kettlebell
2️⃣ Active groin stretch
3️⃣ Cossack squat switches

Train your groin to be strong where it’s long—not just stretched.

📌 Save this if you train, run, or move laterally.
