Types Of Hip Exercises
March 4, 2009
It is very difficult to enjoy life when your hips hurt. The key to lessening your hip pain is to do some hip exercises that will lessen the fat surrounding the joints, strengthen the joint, and improve your overall mobility.
The problem is that it is really hard to convince yourself to get up and off the couch when you know that moving is going to hurt. The trick is to keep reminding yourself that if you just push through the pain and do some hip exercises you will eventually start to feel better.
One of the biggest reasons people suffer from chronic hip pain is because they are overweight. Eating a healthy diet, and losing some weight will help lessen your hip pain.
Before you start to do hip exercises you should make an appointment with your doctor or physical therapist. Have them examine your hips and make sure that there isn’t anything physically wrong with your hips that you could further aggravate with hip exercises.
The good news is that most hip exercises don’t have to be done in a gym. You can do them anywhere and at anytime.
The Leg Swing
The first hip exercise is one that you do while standing upright. Stand next to a high back chair. Hold onto the back of your chair and use it for balance while you slowly move your leg back and forth. While you are doing this particular exercise you should keep your knee straight. Swing you leg back and forth ten times and then switch legs.
The Squatting Leap
The squatting leap is an excellent hip exercise when you are trying to reduce the amount of fat surrounding your hip. Make sure that you have an area that is carpeted, a hardwood or tiled floor could be slippery. Stand with your feet spread. Lower yourself into a squatting position. After taking a deep breath, spring into the air. Repeat the squat leap eight times.
In addition to reducing your hip fat, this exercise will also help improve your cardiovascular system. Repeat the squatting leaps five to eight times.
The Sliding Plate
The next exercise requires that you find a smooth floor, a tile or hardwood floor will work, and you will also need a paper plate. When you start this exercise you should stand with your feet apart, one foot should be on the floor and the other foot should be the paper plate. While keeping your upper body perfectly upright, you should skid the plate along the floor. Do this for a full minute and then switch legs. This exercise will tone your hip muscles.

I just had hip surgery actually. I’m doing all those exercises now. But you know what really helped me?

Seriously I would fall asleep in minutes. Loved doing business with that company too.
