Hip Flexors Iron Boot Training

by Atomic Athletic on Thursday, April 5, 2012 at 4:31pm ·

I had a sprinting coach in here the other day. He wanted to know what my best tool was for training the hip flexors. I asked him what his athletes were currently doing. They were using a variety of tools, but he really wanted to know if he should add the Iron Boots.

Here are 5 exercises that would work both the hip flexors and the ankles:

1. Hanging Knee Raises
2. Thai Knee Kicks
3. Inner Thigh Work
4. Leg Raise Foot Circles/Flutter Kicks
5. Alternate Bent Knee Crunch Touches

Every one of these exercises will help a runner, as well as a fighter, weightlifter or soccer player. Try them out. Even with an empty, unloaded Iron Boot, these are tough moves that will work your body in ways that you simply can't get with any other tool.

By the way, there will be a number of people at this year's Atomic Athletic Great Black Swamp Olde Time Strongman Picnic who will be glad to give you more ideas about Iron Boot training.
