Your core is more than abs! It's an intricate system of muscles that both stabilize your system, as well as muscles that are powerful movers.

Your Hips muscles are a key component to keeping your whole core strong!

Let's kick off our CORE POWER month strong with 4 hip exercises that are guaranteed to strengthen your hips and your whole core!

Banded Side Steps: Fire up your lateral stabilizers to improve hip-to-pelvic control.
Banded Monster Walks: Build endurance in the glutes to support the pelvis during dynamic forward movement.
Standing Banded Leg Lifts: Challenge your balance while strengthening the hip in multiple planes.
Standing Clamshells: Activate the deep rotators that keep your knees aligned and your pelvis level.
