Hip & Core progression!!

Hip and core strengthening! Your core will save your joints in the long run (think back pain, knee pain). This video shows hip abduction with progression into side plank. It will also give your booty an extra lift! 

Make sure the leg you are moving stays in line with your torso, and your toes point forward or even a little down towards the ground, NOT the ceiling! 

Message me with any questions or ideas :)
