8 HIP-STRENGTHENING EXERCISES USING
THE VERSA LOOP
It's no secret that desk jobs can typically cause tight and/or weak hips. Chronic sitting produces a weaker posterior chain, a lack of range of motion, stiff muscles and compensation by using the joints above and below during movement.
Corrective exercise with the Versa Loop-a circular band without handles-is an ideal piece of equipment to effectively strengthen hips. If a Versa Loop is not available, a Thera-band tied into a loop or a resistance band with ankle cuffs can be used instead (ask a Trainer for assistance).
The following routine includes exercises that focus on one or more areas of the hip. These exercises can be used for corrective exercise or as part of your regular routine.
Sets and repetitions of 10 to 15 reps should be completed before progressing to higher reps such as 15 to 20.

Vegetable Shepherd's Pie
|
|
|
Ingredients:
6 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced,
Kosher salt,
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil,
1 large onion, diced,
3 large carrots, cut into 1/2-inch chunks,
2 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch chunks,
1 bunch baby turnips, halved or quartered if large,
6 cloves garlic, minced,
Freshly ground pepper,
1/2 bunch fresh parsley, leaves chopped (stems reserved),
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce,
5 tablespoons unsalted butter,
3/4 cup chopped veggie burgers or vegetarian protein crumbles,
2/3 cup milk or half-and-half,
Grated parmesan cheese, for sprinkling (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the broiler. Cover the potatoes with water in a pot; season with salt, cover and boil until the potatoes are fork-tender, 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a stove top casserole dish or shallow enamel pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, turnips and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables brown, 8 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid from the potatoes to the casserole dish. Lower the heat and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Tie the parsley stems with twine and add to the casserole. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 8 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons butter and the chopped veggie burgers and warm through, 5 minutes. Remove the parsley stems and stir in the chopped parsley. Keep warm.
Drain the potatoes and mash with the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and the milk; season with salt and pepper and spoon over the casserole. Sprinkle with parmesan, if desired. Broil until golden brown, 5 minutes.
