The Band Seated Hip Internal Rotation exercise is a lower body exercise that targets the hip internal rotators, particularly the glutes and hip adductors.
How to perform
To perform the Band Seated Hip Internal Rotation exercise, follow these steps:1. Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight out in front of you.
2. Wrap a resistance band around the arches of both feet and hold onto the ends of the band with your hands.
3. Keeping your torso upright and your abs engaged, bend your knees and bring the soles of your feet together.
4. Slowly and controlled, press your knees down towards the floor, feeling a stretch in your hips and inner thighs.
5. Hold the stretch for a few seconds, then slowly release and return to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
Make sure to keep your core engaged and maintain good posture throughout the exercise. Adjust the tension of the resistance band as needed to challenge yourself appropriately. This exercise can help improve hip mobility and flexibility, as well as strengthen the muscles that support the hip joint.
Equipment required
Band
Band equipment consists of elastic bands or tubes that provide resistance during exercises. They are commonly used to strengthen and tone muscles, improve flexibility, and increase range of motion. Bands are versatile and can be used for a variety of exercises targeting different muscle groups, making them suitable for strength training, rehabilitation, and physical therapy. The resistance levels can be adjusted based on the tension of the band, allowing for progressive overload and customization for individual fitness levels.
