Hip Flexor Muscles! What Are They?
THE HEALTH & FITNESS SHOW WITH TRACY MARKLEY PODCAST
What are your hip flexor muscles? Many people think that a hip flexor is just a small spot in the front of the legs. This is not true. Several muscles make up the muscles that flex hip. If your doctor, physical therapist, trainers, etc., say you need to strengthen your hip flexors, learning what muscles flex the hip will help you greatly.
In this video I share about the hip flexors and the muscles that flex the hip. You can also find more videos here that I have made with more information about stretching the hip flexors and what the movement of hip flexion is.
