Do you have pain in the front of your hip—maybe even into your groin-and you've been stretching over and over, but nothing helps? Let me show you how a band and a couple of good exercises can get rid of that pain permanently. Here's what you need to understand: it's not always tight muscles causing the problem. A lot of the time, it's muscle inhibition. When your glute isn't firing properly, the front of your hip gets pushed forward into the joint. That's where the pinching sensation comes from. So the fix isn't more stretching. It's turning on the glute so it can pull the hip back where it belongs. **Exercise 1:** Place a band just below your knees. If your right hip is the problem, tighten your core and push your knees out to the side. Drive your right foot into the ground as you lift up, and hold that position for a few seconds. Then try to lift your left foot off the ground. If your hamstring cramps, your glute isn't firing—so really focus on pushing that right knee out. Hold for 3 seconds, then come down. Repeat until tired. Do two sets. **Exercise 2:** With the affected side down, push that knee into the ground to activate the glute. This knee will want to pull up—so your glute has to work hard to keep it stable. Tighten your core, come up and forward, and hold for three seconds. Go until you're tired. Two sets. Remember: that pinching in your groin or front of your hip is often a joint problem, not a muscle or tendon issue. Grab a band, try these two moves every day until you feel your glute firing. It'll help your pain, help your function, and most importantly-you'll get better, not older. #hippain #Hipmobility #hips - @heydrrob
