Hip Flexor Exercise: Squats With Lateral Leg Raise
Sitting and working at our desk can be hard on our bodies, especially if we don’t get up and move around. Therefore, this month we have been working on improving our hip flexors by introducing an easy massage, a quick stretch and strengthening exercise with lunges. This week we will be working on strengthening the hip flexors by performing squats with lateral leg raise.
Watch the Squats video as Kevin Pham, lwbw Personal Trainer, shows you how to perform them correctly.
