Exercises for Fit Hips

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- To work your body and get maximum benefit you want to think about your hips. The muscles in your hips help you move laterally, and work on keeping you balanced and strong.

First we are going to do a band side Lunge. Hold the band to the side and lunge in the opposite direction for about 10 reps. Do two sets.

Next we will do Side Squats, crisscross a band across your knees. Take a step laterally (to the side) into a squat then bring your feet together back to a standing position traveling across the room.

Repeat--traveling to the opposite direction.

The last exercise is clam shells. Lie on your side with knees bent. Open and close your knees, adding tension by pressing knees together with your hands. Slow and controlled, do two sets of 10.
