Andrea February 9, 2012 at 1:54 pm Reply I like these, could you give some more details on how long to do these, sets/reps, edtc. I have tight hip flexors, which is part of my problem with patellar tendonitis. And I like these two and where can you get more exercises similar??
Todd Bumgardner February 9, 2012 at 2:23 pm Reply Andrea, For the isometric holds I typically have my clients hold them from 10 to 20 seconds. The band marches can be done for 8-12 reps, but don’t go near exhaustion. We just want activation. I’ll shoot some videos of other hip flexor activation drills and post them later this week or next for you!

Thanks, Gags! I guess great minds think alike!
