The trainer: Liz Letchford, MS, ATC, Tonal trainer
Why this move: "I'm constantly moving and challenging my body with different workouts, heavy lifts, and outdoor adventures. My active lifestyle leaves my hips feeling quite taxed. This mobility drill allows me to enhance the connection between my brain and my hips while maintaining core stability. When the core is braced in this movement, a signal is sent to the nerves that manage the muscles of the hips to allow more range of motion. This movement enhances my flexibility more than any static stretching I've ever done! With greater range of motion in my hips, I feel stronger and more resilient."
