Strength & Conditioning: 002 / Focus on hips
All running or walking activities challenge your hip and core stability. Good hip and core stability aren’t just about strength, it’s about timing. The muscles around your hips and core don’t work in isolation, they work as a team, where proactive stabilisation precedes the actual movement. For example, your body is already making adjustments to keep your hips and core stable when you run.
Core and hip stability exercises make muscles stronger, but also smarter. This will enable your muscles to do a better job with your posture and body alignment through your hips and core while you’re running or walking without you even thinking about it.
Complete core and hip exercises in a slow, controlled fashion. Pay attention to the movement. Start with simple exercises before progressing to more advanced ones. Quality > Quantity!
