F 64 Supine Hip Isolation Flexion EN

Laying on your back with both legs together, balls of both feet pointing away from the upper torso actively.

Taking the right hand and placing it on top of the right hip, gently pressing down with the right hand to keep that hip grounded.

Both shoulders draw down now and now press through the ball of that left leg extending in a sort of circular motion up to the point where your hamstring starts to feel tight and to keep the knee straight, don’t bring it further beyond that point.

Whichever position the leg has come up to, now take the left hand and place it to the inside of that leg.

So less flexibility in the hamstring, maybe that the leg is further away for your upper torso.

That would mean that you would have to have the back of that hand closer to the inside of the thigh.

Otherwise you would have it up closer to the inside of the knee or possibly to the inside of the shin.

Once the hands in position, create an opposition from the top leg to the hand, the hand to the top leg.

So as if you’re trying to push the leg out to the side and the leg is pushing in towards the hand.

Check in here to see that both shoulders are actively drawing down.

Also draw the chin slightly in to make sure that the neck is elongated too.

Here again the same thing crown of the head kind of moves back away from the spine.

Activate through the ball of that bottom leg foot and activate through the ball of the top leg foot at the same time you’re doing this.

To release, let go of the hand and actively release the top leg down to the floor beside the other leg.
