This simple exercise is designed to strengthen your internal hip rotators, and will help to balance your internal vs external hip rotators since if we’re doing squats, deadlifts and lunges, our external rotators are likely stronger.
Watch the video once through, then watch it again and do the exercise along with me.
After that, I suggest you do it daily for at least 1 week before dropping down to a 3 times/week or so schedule.
Hold for 10-30 seconds without excessive co-contraction and aim for 2-3 minutes of total work every time you do it and pay attention because you’ll experience some benefits, the specifics of which depend on your particular make-up and training history.

I know it doesn’t look like much but statics are never very sexy, however, they’re so effective for activation and building strength at end ROM, we should all be doing them more often.
