That’s why Jeffers created a hip workout circuit specifically designed with runners in mind. The exercises he included build unilateral stability and strength, and “closely resembles the way in which our bodies work while running,” he says.Perform each exercise for 1 minute total . Complete 2 to 4 rounds of this 7-move circuit, resting 2 minutes after completing each round. Each move is demonstrated by Jeffers in the video above so you can learn proper form.
Start on all fours, knees under hips and shoulders over wrists. Keep your belly button drawn in toward your spine, back flat, and your left leg bent at 90 degrees. Lift your left leg out to your left side, keeping it bent and stopping at hip height. Then, lift left leg back and up like you’re doing a donkey kick. Circle left hip inward to come back to starting position. Repeat this motion of “out, up, and back” for 30 seconds, then repeat on other leg for 30 more seconds.
