Hip Mobility-Activation Pair for Single-Leg Stability

Filed Under Athletic Development 

I hope you had a great weekend. Emily and I went to the Flyers vs. Penguins game yesterday to watch one of my Fitness Segments with Jim McCrossin on the JumboTron. Check out this picture my friend took with his phone:

The Flyers had been undefeated since our first segment rolled; I just assume it’s because of all the great training tips they’re getting during our first period video!

I’ve been getting a lot of great feedback about the mobility/activation dynamic warm-up pair concept that I learned from Nick Tumminello.  A couple weeks ago I posted a new hip mobility exercise I’ve been using a lot recently. Below is the video of that exercise and a video of the Lateral Lunge->Reverse Crossover Drop Lunge that I pair it with.

This exercise pair is a great way to improve hip range of motion and immediately reinforce multi-planar single-leg stability. Let me know what you think!

    Kev,

    I’ve started to do this after I saw your clip and I like it alot. Thanks for the great videos. I think you need to do a dvd on your new warm-up progressions.

    Hey Kevin!

    Thanks for the kind words. I’m actually making outlines for a couple hockey training products now. I need to finish up the Hockey Speed Training Manual I’ve been working on first though. I’ll let you know when it’s done so you can have a look. Did you have a chance to check out the hockey training membership site yet?

    All the Best,

    Kevin

    Nice work with the JumboTron pic!

    Maybe we can get the Wings to start running those. We need some help this year.

    Love the combo’s, hip mobility is huge and we only have so much time.

    Thanks Joe! Do you know who the Red Wing’s Strength Coach is? They have such a diverse team-I’m not sure I could explain hip mobility exercises in the necessary 12 languages.

    You just gave a heart attack. As a Flyer fan I have secretly hoped that you or Nick Tumminello would train the Flyers full time. Watching guys like Gagne and Briere pull their groins would frustrate me to no end. I know I am asking for the world, but if you could hint who in particular has benefited from your training regime since you started with them. That would be incredible.
