Hip flexor and shoulders are important parts for your performance. It is common to see people doing mobility in a gym. It might prevent you from injuries and improve your gain. So, fixing poor hip flexor and rounded shoulders are essential to make progress without break.
You could hurt joints a lot If you had poor posture. The meaning you can’t flex hip and have rounded shoulders is that your body can’t absorb force. In order to create progress overload, working out with intensity should be needed. However, If you had poor posture and didn’t fix it, you would end up with getting injured and slowing down your progress.
It is impossible to avoid all injures by mobility training. However, you may reduce risk of injuries. Whatever you do, you flex your hips and use shoulders everyday. Whether you work out or not, If you don’t fix problems in your body, you will be supposed to face them later. Even elite athletes train mobility hard before they work out.
There are a lot of mobility videos. What you need to do is find out what works for you and apply it to your program. Even though It seems like doing mobility work everyday wastes your time, It it much better than having injuries and seeing a doctor frequently.
I will try these, but i cant feel my back muscles, even tho i go to the gym, i did many back exercises with equipment and ive been doing that for the past year, but my back is still super weak, because when i do the exercises i just cant feel my back muscles and my arms are the ones who do the job when its the back which should do the job, and when i need to do pullups its torture, i can only do 3-4 and that only brcause of the arm strenght and when my arms get tired out, that’s it, and i try to activate the back muscles to work but i cant feel them:(
does anything of those exercises also work the hip flexor? cause I know that’s not suppose to be tight
Tight psoas and cycling = agh.
7:00 reminds me of the George Costanza photo shoot from Seinfeld.
these are great and overlooked exercises for karate training as well.
Didn’t even get to the point until over half the video. Background music makes this painful to listen to!!
Finally! I’ve been looking for something to help me stop activating my hipflexors when I’m doing leg raises.
I am def going to try this right before my next abb workout to deactivate the psoas. Thanks for the tip!
In the first test…. what if your leg is flat against the bench but your knee doesn’t bend to the 80degree mentioned. Does this still mean tight RFemoris? If I straighten my leg it doesn’t change that me leg is already flat on the bench ��
yeah, but how many repetitions per day do we do, without over-doing it?
great…but what if one has a bunion, like me for instance, my balance’s been compromised, also it’s hard to keep steady posture while standing on one foot, the one with the bunion..some advise there?.i really need help..if you have some bunion solutions, advises, exercises that’d be great..problems are really comin from the bottom up
thanks!
Hey I am still not sure what to do, there is a weakness but the front of my hips feel so tight and painful I use to not be able to stand up straight, I kept having to push myself up, as if my muscles had atrophied in a sitting position, I also had a lot of weakness in the core muscles. 9 years ago I was paralyzed when 2 fungi attacked my upper spine. I hv3 been slowly getting stronger but that tight feeling remains. I feel the stretching helps but there is weakness. I feel I need both but from what your saying it is one or the other…..
Fuck dude I’ve had back pain but always was super flexible in the hips, and stretching all the hip flexors and stuff always felt amazing now I realize it’s just my weak ass ass that’s failing me.
The number of videos that say Stop DOING THIS! Most of us end up doing nothing, just to play it safe.
It works!! I can’t believe it!:O I’ve been suffering from snapping hips for YEARS on my right hip flexor and after just doing these 3 simple exercises once I saw results. No longer do my right hip flexors click when I do a plank or when I try to raise my leg. When I do mountain climbers, I still hear the familiar pop from my right hip flexor, but I will continue these exercises for two weeks and see if it goes completely away. Thanks to this video I feel hope now that I’ll be finally free of the snapping hips. Thanks so much for this video and for getting straight to the point with the exercises. A valuable 3:24 min spent.:)
here’s a few things for treating tight hip flexors at home
Gradually start walking further per day
Try an anti-inflammatory diet
Consider trying yoga lessons
Checkout some online guides
(I read these and the reasons they work on Fergs pain ease site )
The amount of sexual tension built up in that room ���� I can only imagine how “Lonnie” feels ����
Brad couldn’t contain himself @ 7:16 Lmao Had to let out a lil hump or he was gonna spontaneously combust
Actually my psoas muscle is so tight from me sitting and not stretching that my hip is locked up and pulled some stuff out of alignment. Is there a way to fix that?

Wow, Goggins was right. Marine vet here. Did one stretch and it released my tension from my neck down my shoulders and arms, down my legs, my entire erector spine… legs feel loose. Omg.

Thank you so much for this! Indeed a major lack of exercise regimens like this out there
Hi Jeff,
What if I don’t have tight hip flexor and when I test if my hip flexor is weak, when I lift my leg from the box, I feel pain?
What’s the cause and what should I do? Should I keep practice hip flexor or no?
Thanks

Love the simplicity of this move. I will be trying it on my client who is hip flexor dominate. Thanks guys!
When I attempted to do the standing test of holding my knee and releasing it, I feel a sharp pain in the groin area… no bueno! What should I do?
Do we really have to do specific reps each exercise? What if some are easy and others too hard? Isn’t it more correct to do them for a specific set of time?
My hip flexors are weak, my glutes are weak, my chest is weak, my quads are weak, my arms are weak…. 6 months of working out and mostly I’ve just got injured
There are other options other than this video..the link is below

I’m assuming my hip flexor is my problem. When I back squat now it hurts at the point where my quad meets my hip on the left side. I also walk weird using the same leg and always have is this actually a hip flexor problem and are these exercises right? When I do these exercises I am able to with ease as well as any other leg exercise it literally is only back squats that give me great pain in my hip flexor area. Thank you
This video could not have come at a better time… Incorporating this into my daily warmup!
I’m going to be using this for ballet! Need a lot of strength to lift up my full straightened leg up high.
Will this muscle cause outer pain over the top of the pelvic bone and down the low back into the tailbone? I am in a lot of pain with Fibromyalgia today and rain isn’t helping. Thanks for your video.
Hi, Chad, I have had osteo arthritis since I was 10 it has since then moved to my ankles. I am now 32 and now feeling lower to mid back pain on top of everything else. Just recently within the last year I’ve notice a huge weight gain no natter how much I exercise. Do you think that I could have tight hip flexors?
This video’s great! I was worried a student shared the video and the title concerned me as we do dance and circus arts and often have strong but tight hip flexors, stretching appropriately is important. I know a catchy title is good for getting views, but it was misleading for the great content in the video:D Just a thought.
I’m not a therapist of any kind, and I absolutely couldn’t stop watching this very informative video. Thank you! I’m often looking to learn more about my own body. I had a 5 year old hip flexor strain that I finally got relief from through my own clumsy massaging ( 7wow.cc/rfky ). I thought I’d better find out more about how this muscle group works, and I just learned a ton! I think I’ll recruit the spouse for the next time I need it released
3:31 NOT elevated there. that’s the purpose of the video, to tell you how to stay in a hollow position, not elevating the lower back. lol
Thanks for this tip! I’m trying to rid myself of anterior pelvic tilt and activating the hip flexors can be a problem.
What are some at-home ab exercises that can be done after this?
Hey Dr. Madden, thank you for this video. Just to tell you quickly, I tore my rectus femoris and my labrum in my right hip in January. I am looking to play college football as a field goal kicker so I most likely got injured from overkicking or having weak hip flexors. I do a good stretch out routine before but I seem to still aggravate the muscle. Can you please make another video or comment me back of other hip flexor strengthening exercises. Thank you very much
if i just injured my iliopsoas and want to recover from it, should i do this everyday like 4 sets of the static hold for hip flexors for a minute each set? WIll that prolong recovery? Also, while doing this routine can I also do my normal weight lifting routine 3x a week? (a total body workout at the gym 3 times a week) Will doing these two routines help maintain strength while recovering or will these two routines prolong recovering from the iliopsoas injury? Thank You!
I am uncertain what I should be doing. My hip flexors are sharp and tight, especially after I run, and get progressively worse if I don’t stretch them. Once I do stretch them, the pain goes away. However, I have lower back pain whenever I do core exercises, and the ‘try to hold your leg up past 90 degrees’, makes the outside of my support leg feel sharp and crampy. So, should I stretch or are those muscles just weak? Should I stretch AND those muscles are weak?
Is it possible for a hip flexor to be both tight AND weak? Where you would start?
I have no access to a gym, but I wantttt to stay fitttt. These videos are a blessing. Much appreciated.
someone sugguested for me to strethen my hip flexors to relieve knee pain is that right?
I kicked a football and popped my hip out because I have weak joints can this help with that or would there be something else I would have to do
what about not just up and down? like opening the hips side to side. Im a Martial arts fighter and ive been experiencing pain in the flexor area while kicking. doesnt feel like muscle though, feels lint its with the hip joint
Hi B & B love your vids but I have a quick qu with psoas what if the pain is around the attachments in the back, as all these exercises seem to focus on the frontal attachment? I’m a runner and my issue starts at the back along the spine. thnx
Thank you very much. This channel is perfect for (APT). It’s really helpful. I recently noticed I have some Anterior pelvic tilt.. I was so scared what would happen, so I started searching how to get rid of this, and now I finally found a perfect one.. Waiting for more. ��✌��
Jeff kind of looked like a marionette puppet lifting his knee up real high like that. Haha no idea where that came from but it made me laugh
Dude this is incredible advice thank you so much man you guys are awesome and im so happy i found this video. Im going to try it but from a body mechanic perspective it makes so much sense as to why this works.
Tried the glute squeeze and lumbar flexion at the gym today only took 25 years at the gym to properly activate the abs but hey better late than never I guess! You guys are amazing…
As an athlete that has struggled with tight hip flexors in the past I feel that these exercises are very helpful. Here is another program that will definitely unlock your hip flexors and boost your flexibility! https://bit.ly/2sW5MI7
will these exercises help stretch ones hip flexors? cause i believe mine are crazy tight
What if I have weakness above 90 degrees hip flex and pelvic tilt at the same time?
With the strengthening exercises, are you also not activated your quad? Surely that negates the purpose of activating psoas alone?
Thanks a lot for these tips! I’m going to start doing them.
I have a question but it’s not hip flexor related. I play soccer once a week but I also do weight-lifting a few times a week. And the problem I’m having is that the days after playing soccer my knees hurt. It’s painful for me to walk up the stairs or even bending down and going back up. The next week, the pain is low and after warming up I don’t feel anything anymore. Should I get this checked?
Thanks a lot.
Aren’t most of these exercises involving the hip flexors, which are already too dominant?
Thanks! I’ll be trying this before my next ab workout. Love your videos!
Correct. Hip flexor over activates is the bane of existence (kinda since we still need these muscles) cause back pain, traps overworked and then shoulder and neck pain, knees medically deviated and then the famous overpronsting of feet.
As I was running at top speed oh, I had to avoid a child in my path. I spun around and eventually just threw myself on the ground. I did not feel anything for 4 days. At which point I was walking across the floor and I felt a pain shoot up my quad. My hip flexor was very tender and still is after 2 weeks. It has improved 50%, thank you for these exercises
I will seek medical treatment if necessary, but I just want to get back in the marathon game. I am familiar with Cincinnati sports medicine. They treated my son for torn ACL when we were living there
Hey guys!! super important info, thank you so much!! I have a question for you if I may, I came across one of those old myths, and I wish to get some insight from you, the myth goes like this: “if someone has a fat belly that person shouldn’t do abs exercises because this cause the fat to solidify under and in between the muscular layers and is more difficult to eliminate”
i’d like to thank u for showing 3 exercises that i can actually do, but MOST IMPORTANTLY, u didn’t tell me to get down on the floor. (can’t get back up)
I can finally do three sets without a struggle. Thanks again. Getting some huge gains on my shoulder flexibility too using your stretches combined with intermittent flexing for 10 second intervals. Also, memorized the super set.
Hip flexor dominance drives me mad. Ive been looking for this tip for years! Amazing!
Thanks for this video. I watched one that suggested I stretch my hip flexors but then saw your video and found out I just have weak hips. Now i know how to get those babys worked out without damaging them. Thanks again ✌��
Great video!!!!! but please spare us that silly music. It’s all over you tube and I feel like I’m getting dumber only by being exposed to it.
good precise info, hips can be a nightmare and you describ well
Oh my gosh the difference at the end was incredible! Thank you, subscribed and clicked the bell! ��
I’m happy I found this. When doing exercises like russian twists, leg raises etc. my hip flexors would get so tired and it was almost impossible for me to do these exercises and I didn’t know what was the problem or how to fix it. Now I know. Thanks guys!
I’m half way through and I just want to say, this is the best muscle and tendon information I’ve ever seen on the internet. This is outstanding information, and presented better than anyone ever has.
That was great! Thank you for this video. So I’ve noticed psoas is tight in most of people but also weak. Should we stretch it before strengthening it then stretch again?
i get a cracking in the hips during the dead bugs is that safe?
I have anterior pelvic tilt which makes doing abs a little difficult
watching this in 2020 during the COVID-19 outbreak, at home in self-quarantine!! a good time to address imbalances and weaknesses in the body. this exercise is simple and effective even as a beginner not a bro, athlete or anywhere near as strong any of you and i was still able to do this and feel it in my core, rather than my hip flexors. lol. thank you for the video!
Hi, great workout, but wondering if you could re-record the video with softer music. shouldn’t women and men be doing different exercises for this problem due to anatomical differences? If yes, would be great to see a video on that.
Wow! Sometimes we DONT KNOW what we DONT KNOW! Neat little hip flexor article I found. Truth or Click bait? https://zip1ink.com/k7
I really enjoy your videos. You both have a wonderful way with one another. And I learn so much. Thank you both
I’ve always wondered why I have anterior tilt and now I understand. Thanks Bob and Brad. ����������
Should I remember to keep my abs engaged to help keep my back strong while doing these exercises?
Omg! I have been in the military for going on 13 years. Doing sit-ups for all my APFTs and not able to max them like I should because my hip flexors can not stand to do the whole 82. They give out! I know that if I can reactive them I can go the distance and really max my sits up. Thank you so much for this video. I stumbled on your channel and have been stalking y’all every since. Amazing content!
thank you for this!! my hip flexors kill me after doing any ab exercises and this helped a lot:)
I\’m not sure but,if anyone else
nts to learn about aching hip flexorsbest workout for hips try Nevolly Hip Relief Nerd (should be on google have a look )? Ive heard some decent things about it and my partner got great results with it.
I’ve had lower back pain for last year and really messed up my lower back, Physio’s said train your abs but my lower back was hurting constantly and the Physio’s didn’t know what the problem was, I went to some expensive physio and she said I have hip flexor dominant and lower back dominant where they take all the pressure and not my glutes, my lower back since been getting better and she taught me how to train abs properly she talked about deactivating hip flexor and how to deactivate hip flexor, these guys talking about the same thing, THESE GUYS KNOW THEIR SHITTTTTT!! Channel needs more attention
Bert and Ernie do physio ������ these two are informative and understatedly funny
What about the people saying you should never do leg raising exercises with apt because of strengthening the hip flexors even more, thus causing more tilt.
Can you please explain why it isnt good to stretch the hip flexor if they arent weak?
Amazing! These guys have saved me so much pain. I can finally get back to running now.
What muscles are in your back that help you from standing up straight
Yo, I’ve got an anterior pelvic tilt so I could barely feel any ab workouts in my core, this just helped that drastically

When I walk for very long or run very little I experience a lot of hip pain in the front of hip (usually more in right hip than left). I want to do a lengthy hike/climb this summer but don’t want to damage anything doing it. I’m anxious to try the first two you showed-how many times a week is best for a physical therapy/strengthening effect? Should I do it every day?
Thanks a lot for your advice! I’ve actually got a scoliosis and my PT told me that my knees are hurting because of an overload on my nerves or something like that. So now we’re doing sessions to fix my back and I’m starting to do stretching.
I start feeling it in my neck instead when I do this, can anyone help me fix that?
It doesn’t work for me. When I do this move, my hip flexors get really tight. When I squeeze my glutes, my hip flexors also squeeze.
Hey Jeff, trainer here. What if it causes pain on the outside of the hip like you mentioned. Do you have the client still do the test as the exercise even though it’s causing them pain? Explain to them it’s like poking the bear, etc?
Finally understand this,been struggling with how to tell in Thomas test to see if it’s Posas or rectus femoris tight or not,I get confused
Alright… But what if I have fine hip flexibility, and I can catch my knee above 90 degrees, yet still I find my self debilitated from hip flexor pain/tightness?
When I lift my leg a muscle towards the inside of my leg hurts. What does that mean? Which move should I do?
It’s a good workout but this shitty, overly loud music completely ruins it for me
I sure would like to see more. First time I see something that I feel is accurate and WELL EXPLAINED. My problem is weakness and tightness CENTER front right in the crease of the front of my right leg, a little closer to the groin. I have never been able to get the back of my thigh flat on the bench since my first hip replacement on the right side. this problem comes and goes. A few minutes ago the first time I lifted my leg and place my foot on a chair in front of me, I felt like I had to pick it up manually and place up there. Just from doing those tests I can now pick it up to 90 degree angle? I had one total replacement on that side, about 27 years ago, and a partial re-replacement with two screws about a little over a dozen years ago. I am soon to be 83 years old and still teaching ballet. Where can I see more on this subject?
Hm, Bret Contreras “The glute guy”, says that the further you put the feet away the more hamstring activation…best 90 degrees. U can check it at his “10 Steps To The Perfect Hip Thrust” post
I’ve been doing some research because no matter how many ab routines I do, it’s always my hip flexors that walk away burning. Hopefully this helps
Any idea what to do if my left glute won’t fire? My left abs are also very weak. I’m trying to strengthen my left abs so I can hopefully eventually fire the glute. I’ve tried everything in the world to fire up the glute and it won’t work. So I’m going to try to strengthen the left abs to try and give the pelvis some stability first. Any help would be appreciated.
Why do I feel it in my hamstrings? My legs are more than a 90 degree angle like they say, and I even used a mirror to check my position, but I feel it in my hamstrings and it’s too uncomfortable to hold the position…. any ideas why or how to adjust?
How exactly do you push your lower back to the ground on the first exercise?
Holy crap!! I can not believe how much this helps after just a few days. Been stretching these like crazy and the second I would hop on my skateboard I could feel my hipflexors getting so tight. Issue completely gone, I still have ptsd from my hips being so tight though.
Your videos are amazing!! I been suffering from one side symptoms, left side is tight and right side feels loose. Any tips how I can fix it?
What if I have anterior pelvic tilt, but my psoas doesn’t test as tight or weak? For what it’s worth, my back seems to have an exaggerated S shape, very hard for me to straighten it. 40-year-old 135 pound male.
Recently I injuries my hip flexor while playing soccer. Honestly it feels fine running, jumping and doing anything but once I kick a soccer ball the pain comes right back. I took a break for 4 weeks and I really want to get back to paying so if any one has some tips that would be great. By the way I’m 13 and am in a pretty major growth spurt and have been dealing with a lot of injuries so maybe this one just needs time.
I swear I struggle engaging my abs so much and even doing this my hip flexors and hamstrings are holding me up even when I’m squeezing my butt. Frustrating as fuck
What does it mean when I am doing the dynamic test and my leg goes all the way down to the floor; so not up or 90? I have pain on the quad where it hinges to lift the leg up.
Good video well done. Can I ask please if using the step machine at the gym will develop and build the hip flexors?
I have spent months researching treating tight hip flexors at home and discovered a fantastic website at Fergs pain ease (check it out on google)
Gonna try this today! Been having so much pain in my hip flexors and I haven’t been seeing the ab results I need and I now know why! Thank you so much for this, stuff like this on the internet is invaluable
when performing these stretches is it not recommended to warm up the muscle first rather than pulling them cold, as I have done this and felt pain in the PSOAS muscle
Thank you for sharing these and not making us read 10 pages of junk to sell a video with exercises on it. These seem fairly easy and basic for us folks just wanting a bit more mobility.
I am doing the second exercise with weights….I am wondering whether it is good for hypertrophy
Found this video because I have overactive hip flexors and am looking for a solution because physio hasnt been helping. But I cant seem to flex my glutes without also activating my hip flexors, even in this exercise
I’m 69, I have very hard time doing this stretch,my sacrilliac hurts…
And I’m sure a lot of people tell you all kind of names and everything I’m not a doctor I don’t know nothing about nothing I’m trying to find out some relief or some help
Surely you have tight hip flexors if you spend 10-12 hours sitting a day?
My hips are popping a lot and I don’t know why. My hips are also noisy when they pop. It doesn’t hurt at all. And my hips popped alot with the 2nd exercise. I do have tight hips but I am a 17 yr old dancer, gymnast, and runner and I’m flexible. I have ordered a foam roller to try to help loosen my IT band. Are my hips just really weak? Should I continue to do the hip exercises shown in this video if they are causing them to pop? Thanks in advance:) and I stopped growing about 2 years ago.
Really I like it I love it, it’s very very useful for us thank u ������
Start a cult. I’ll drink the koolaid. Thanks for all the great videos.
I did the hollow body hold just like you said (first progression) but my lower back was still hurting during it and I didnt feel it in my abs
On the deadbugs: 3 x 8 10 each side is a little confusing, but I think it was just an accident and he either meant 3 x 8 or 3 x 10, while reminding people to not count one side as a full rep.
Also, personally, I like working along to these videos, and mid exercise, getting up to stop what I’m doing so I can do the full sets before the next part plays and having the music stop is a bit distracting. Just some feedback, I know this vid is old.:)
Would it be possible for you to do a full routine video of this workout where you go through the entire routine on camera, uncut, so that the viewers can do the whole thing with you from start to finish?
Tried lifting the left leg off of a chair above 90 and something was pulling me sideways. Any idea what that would be?
Thank you so much. Right now we are dealing with COVID-19 so I’m stuck at home. I’m in so much pain.
This was so helpful
I’ve always been taught that your knees should not go past your ankles when doing squats…it looks like yours are…have I been taught wrong my whole life? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
