Hip exercises for men are designed to strengthen your hip joints as well as the muscles that surround the hip joints. In addition to strengthening, these exercises will help you reduce the risk of getting injured during physical activity. Hip exercises for men range from quadricep strengthening to hamstring exercises.
Cable Hip Flexion
The exercise is designed to strengthen your quads and hips. Stand in front of a hip-flexion machine at the gym with your back straight and knees slightly bent. Place the ankle wrap around your right ankle and select the appropriate weight. With your hands on your hips and left foot slightly in front of your right, lift your right leg off the ground, bending the leg at the knee. Continue to lift until it is even with your hip. Slowly bring your leg down and repeat until fatigued. Repeat with both legs until fatigued.
Downward-Facing Dog
This stretching exercise will strengthen your hips as well as your arms and back. Lie on the ground with your arms at your sides and legs extended. Place both of your hands even with your pecs and push into a pushup position. With your back parallel to the ground, lift your butt off the ground, raising up until your upper torso is at a 45-degree angle to the ground. Hold this position for 20 seconds before lowering yourself to the original pushup position.
Air Bike Hip Flexor
This exercise is designed to strengthen your upper and lower abdominal muscles and hips. Lie on your back with your legs extended and both of your hands behind your neck. With your arms bent behind your neck, bring both legs off the ground. From this position, rotate your upper body to the left side while extending your right leg out. From here, bring your right leg back in and extend your left leg out while crunching your upper body to the right side.
Straight Leg
This hip exercise is designed to strengthen your hips and quadricep muscles. Attach your left ankle to the end of a cable-flexor machine. After selecting the right weight, stand up straight with your left leg behind your right leg. From this position, extend your left leg forward and away from your body while keeping your leg straight. Slowly return your leg to its original position and repeat. Repeat with your right leg.
