I did the Frankenstein walk to strengthen my hip flexors and build core stability: here’s what happened after a week
The author of the article tried the Frankenstein walk, a dynamic stretch that improves range of motion and acts as a warm-up move, for a week to strengthen their hip flexors and build core stability. The exercise works multiple muscles, including the hamstrings, quads, and hips, and can help loosen up before exercise. The author found the exercise to be deceptively effective and plans to continue doing it as a warm-up or respite from sitting at their desk.
