Hip Lock Drill – Inspired By Frans Bosch

Recently I have been playing around a lot with the exercise concepts and ideas that Frans Bosch talks about and implements within his day to day practice when working with athletes across the globe.  In the image below you will see an example of the overhead (dumbbell loaded) single leg hip lock drill that can be incorporated into ones strength and conditioning program for runners. The aim of this is to create co contraction and stiffness through the torso and hip which is an important component of running efficiently.
