A lot of the time, instead of remaining totally idle between sets I will incorporate \u201cfiller\u201d exercises. This week I am sharing 5 lower body \u2018\u2019filler\u2019\u2019 exercises that will humble you.&nbsp; #1) Half Kneeling Hamstring Slide-Outs\u2063 This exercise strengthens the hamstrings, and improves mobility. This exercise is very difficult. When you are learning you can start out by holding onto something for the duration of the exercise. \u2063Inside a doorway or rack would work well.&nbsp; Coaching Tips: \u2063 #2) Side Lying Hip External Rotations This exercise helps improve hip external rotation. If you struggle to keep your knees from collapsing in during squats or other movements, this exercise might be very useful to you. This exercise is just one of many options. Coaching Tips: \u2063 \u2063 Get The Ultimate Lower Body And Core Program. Currently being followed by people of all genders in over 40 countries worldwide. For \u201cexperienced beginners\u201d to advanced trainees, and also coaches. Great for home AND gym workouts! Requires minimal equipment, produces maximal results! LEARN MORE #3) Straight Leg Lifts For Hip Flexors (using 3 objects) I\u2019ve shared MANY variations of this exercise, but never with 3 objects. Over the past week I\u2019ve seen several people share this, so I was inspired! This exercise strengthens the hip flexors, improves hip controlled mobility, and lumbo-pelvic stability.\u2063\u2063\u2063 Coaching Tips: \u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063 \u2063 #4) Half Kneeling Hamstring Lifts\/Pulses This exercise strengthens the hamstrings, and improves mobility. In the first part of the video I\u2019m pressing my hands against a wall. This removes the balance component and allows you to purely focus on the hamstrings.\u2063 I also attached a light weight around my ankle, but start out using bodyweight only. Coaching Tips: #5) Band Resisted Hip Internal Rotations \u2063 This exercise helps improve hip internal rotation. I am performing the exercise using both sides simultaneously as this is more time efficient, but you can perform the exercise using one side at a time.\u2063 Coaching Tips: \u2063 Get STRONG hip flexors, improve your mobility and athleticism! Getting your hip flexors STRONGER might be the missing link to helping you function, perform, and feel better in the gym, with your running, your sport, and even in your daily life. For \u201cexperienced beginners\u201d to advanced trainees, and also coaches. Great for home AND gym workouts!\u00a0Requires minimal equipment, produces maximal results!
