Senior hip exercises stabilize the legs and spine by strengthening the hip joint and its supporting muscles. A weak or unstable hip joint puts your hip, knee, sacrum, and lumbar spine at risk for injury, pain, weakness, and decreased mobility.

By strengthening the hip joint, you can provide your legs with a more stable and balanced foundation to keep your upright as you move through your day. Senior hip strengthening exercises can even help relieve pain in the hips and knees.
