Proximal stability allows for distal mobility.

One of my favorite drills to work on hip abduction/external rotation mobility. Also a nice one for those of you who get clicking/clunking with this movement.
—
The band forces us to keep the core reflexively engaged which means our nervous system now feels safe enough to allow our hip muscles to eccentrically lengthen and not purely serve as lumbopelvic stabilizers.
—
I definitely could have done a better job with maintaining a neutral pelvis, especially in that top shot, but even the Maestro isn't perfect ?.
—
Stay active throughout the entire movement and don't just allow your leg to fall. If you want mobility gains you must be active and show the nervous system that you deserve that range because you own it.
—
As alway, 3 sets of 1 million. Go slowly. Breathe. Move with intent.
