Exercises to strengthen the hip joints?

JessicaR Posts: 467 Joined: 2002/08/12	2004/01/10, 10:57 AM Anyone know any exercises to strengthen the hip joint? I've been having problems w/ my shoulders and hips; doing exercises for my rotator cuffs has helped a LOT. I'm hoping I can find something similar for my hips.

The seated leg tucks and leg raises work my hips as well. When I had my rotator cuff surgery in June, my physical therapist was huge in getting me back together. Ca you do a session with a PT?? -------------- Living well is the best revenge. Charlie

Like the rotator cuff exercises using little to no weight. Maybe I could try those exercises w/ no leg weights. Congrats on your recovery! That is awesome!
