Tired hips and how to improve them

[KnottedYet]

Stupid question, Knott, but when you lift your foot, do you hold that leg out in front of you or simply lift the foot off the ground?

p.s. Thanks for this exercise!

Just get the foot off the ground, whatever way works best for you.

The crucial thing is that you hold your pelvis level and stable the whole time.

Many women will immediately drop the hip of the lifted foot and jut the standing hip out to the side - sure sign of weak hip muscles. If someone does that walking, too, it's called a Trendelenberg gait. Someone with a Trendelenberg gait gets the exact same exercise, but they are only holding for a few seconds because they are so very weak.
