Original caption

Train your damn hip flexors! Most people blame “tight hips”. But the real problem is weak hip flexors that never get trained through range. Here’s a simple sequence you can add after training: 1️⃣ L-sit leg lifts over a bottle (left & right) 2️⃣ 90/90 knee raises 3️⃣ Kneeling step forwards 4️⃣ Deep child pose 5️⃣ Cross heel taps 6️⃣ Pigeon pose Do it slow Control the end range And stop stretching your way around weakness Follow for a capable body you can actually use — Markus & @ketty.energy
