Hip hitch with hold

Hip hitch with hold

Stand up straight with your legs hip-distance apart.
You may find it helpful to have a supportive surface, such as a wall, positioned to your side, or even close behind you.
Identify the leg you would like to strengthen.
Tighten your abdominal muscles and tuck your tail bone under.
Hitch your other hip upwards by rising up onto the ball of this foot to assist the movement.
Suck the hip on your stance leg inwards, tightening the muscles around your hip.
Ensure you do not lock the knee on your stance leg.
Allow it to be in the neutral position.
Keeping this position, remove the support of your other leg so that you are standing only on your leg to be exercised.
The aim of this movement is to keep your opposite hip hitched up, sucking your hip on your stance leg in.
Do not allow your pelvis to drop.
