Fitness Tracker is a local-first, privacy-focused fitness application that helps you measure progress, track workouts, and stay consistent — all without subscriptions, logins, or tracking. This page covers how to perform the standing hip flexors, including tips, variations, and the muscle groups it targets.


Instructions

  1. Stand up straight with the spine vertical, the left foot slightly in front of the right. for best results.
  2. Bend both knees and lift the back heel off the floor as you press the right hip forward. You can't get a thorough, deep stretch in this position, however, because it's hard to relax the hip flexor and stand on it at the same time. Switch sides. for best results.
