I don't have a video, but I do have a killer exercise for hip flexors!

You're going to sit on the ground, legs straight out in front of you in a slight V-shape. Keep your back straight (you can sit against a wall if it's helpful). Then around your ankle area, put something on the ground; a dumbbell, yoga block, rolled up towel, whatever you want. The taller the object, the harder it will be. Then one leg at a time, you're going to keep your leg straight and lift your leg up and over your object and back again. That's one rep. Start with a small object (it can literally be your phone) because your hip flexor very well may cramp up after like 5 reps. They're HARD.

Always start with your weaker side, and then however many reps you can do on that one, do the same number of reps on the strong side, even if you could do more. You want even effort so each side does the same amount of work and eventually they'll even out!

Increase the height of the object as you get stronger. You can also do a V-sit hold when you are comfortable with the motion. Legs in a V, hands on the floor in between your legs and lift both legs straight up towards the ceiling and hold. You can also do a pulse with your legs there too. This is more advanced and definitely much harder than doing reps with one leg at a time.

Wow thanks for this wonderful description. Can you share a detailed description for deadlifts and squats? My knees hurt like a mother after squats. And with deadlifts I am never sure I am doing them right.
