The Monthly Movement

I know this is late, our dozens and dozens of fans demanded this post so I have no choice but to give into the masses.  Without further delay May's monthly movement is the...


Hip Rotation/Sit through:


Why:

• Great mobility drill especially for mma and wrestling
• Builds core strength and speed
• Done long enough it is a great cardio workout

How:

• Start on your hands and knees with your butt on or close to your heels
• Lift one knee of the floor and rotate your hip in the direction of the knee lifted
• Slide your leg under the knee you lifted into a position where it looks like your siting with one leg straight and one leg bent
• Do not let your butt touch the floor
• Now slide your leg back under and perform the same movement on the others side

The directions are a little hard to follow, but I found this video on this cool website called youtube.com

The drill starts at about :30 and ends around 1:15

This is a great dynamic movement to do as a warm-up to loosen up the hips or at he end of a workout.  Start out slow to get the motion right and go faster as you get better at it.

Train hard and train smart.
