5 Pilates Movements to Strengthen Hips

Описание: IT’S ALL IN THE HIPS…

These exercises support hip mobility by activating the deep hip rotators and glutes, which help the hip joint move more freely and with better control. They also improves pelvic stability, reducing compensations that often limit range of motion or cause hip and lower-back discomfort.

ALL MOVEMENTS PERFORMED IN SIDE LYING POSITION

CLAM
Side-lying clams activate the deep hip muscles, improving hip stability and supporting easier, more efficient movement.

SINGLE LEG LIFTS
Side-lying single leg lifts strengthen the outer hip and glutes, supporting hip stability and smoother, more controlled movement through the joint.

SINGLE LOWER LEG LIFT
Single lower leg lifts target the inner thigh and deep hip stabilisers, supporting balanced hip control and smoother, more stable movement.

SIDE LYING LEG CIRCLES
Side-lying leg circles build hip control and mobility by strengthening the surrounding muscles while guiding the joint through smooth, controlled ranges of movement.

LEG FLOATS
Single leg front-to-back floats improve hip mobility and control by strengthening the glutes and stabilisers while the leg moves through a functional range.

All of these side-lying movements strengthen the abdominals by requiring the core to stabilise the pelvis and spine, helping you build deep, functional core strength rather than just “bracing.”
Clients attending regular sessions report greater range of movement within the hip joint, ease when carrying out daily tasks that involve bending and lifting and less difficulty in getting up from the floor!
