Technik-Tipps
Your core muscles are key to performing the Standing Hip Circle effectively. To engage your core, you should imagine pulling your belly button towards your spine. This will not only help to stabilize your body but also ensure that the movement is coming from your hips, not your waist or lower back.
It’s easy to get carried away and start swinging your hips wildly. However, the key to this exercise is controlled, deliberate movement. Make sure you're moving your hips in a smooth, circular motion. Rushing the exercise or using jerky movements can lead to injuries.
Another common mistake is moving the upper body along with the hips.
