$<p>Your hip flexors are THE most important muscle in your kicking motion. Particularly your kicking leg hip flexor. Your hip flexor extends just below your lower abdominal and to above your quadricep. It is also the easiest muscle to over-train, strain, and injure when kicking. There are several stretches for it, but one very simple, easy, and effective stretch is the simulated lunge where you stand erect, lunge down with your knee aiming at the ground and squeeze your butt and push hips forward. You should feel it burn and stretch in the groin/hip flexor area. Hold this for 15-20 seconds and do each leg twice. Don\'t over stretch to where it starts huring you! You should also do these 2x a day with both legs worked twice for 30 seconds each leg in the morning and before you go to bed. Having a flexible hip flexor also helps with lower back pain and to allow your leg to swing through on the follow-through. You should aso be strengthening your "core" which we discuss in greater detail in our e-book.</p>$
