Eccentric Hip Flexors

Description

Sit on a bench or raised step. Place a kettlebell in front of you that is heavy enough to remain stable during the exercise. Slide the front of your foot into the handle of the kettlebell, then lift your other foot off the ground. Slowly lean your chest backward while controlling the descent with the hip of the engaged leg. The goal is to slow down the movement in order to engage the hip flexors as they lengthen. Then gradually return to the starting position and repeat the movement.
