Enhance hip mobility and strengthen your lower body with Standing Gate Openers, a versatile exercise that targets the hips, glutes, and outer thighs. Begin standing tall with feet hip-width apart. Lift one leg out to the side, keeping it straight or slightly bent at the knee. Imagine drawing a half-circle with your foot, moving it forward, then out to the side, and finally back to the starting position. Maintain a stable core and controlled movement throughout. This exercise not only improves balance and coordination but also helps prevent injuries by stabilizing the hip joints. Incorporate Standing Gate Openers into your workout routine to unlock greater flexibility and strength in your lower body.
