Ease Your Hip Discomfort

Say goodbye to hip discomfort with this fun and easy plan inspired by my Medium blog! Your hip extensors/flexors, abductors/adductors are like yin and yang - one cannot exist without the other. If imbalanced, the assisting muscle will overcompensate - resulting in tight hips, hip pain, lower back pain, knee pain. But don’t worry! You can use this plan to strengthen your hips & track your progress. Let’s get started! ☯️🙆‍♂️🙆
