REVERSE SQUAT
This is a strengthening exercise for the hip flexors. To start, lie down on your back with a pullup assist band looped around your feet and anchored down to a solid object. Keep the core braced and maintain a neutral spine as you bend your knees and pull them towards your chest. Hold the end range position for up to 2 seconds before releasing (at 90 degrees hip flexion).
