About The Hip Muscles

Your hip muscles are two separate muscles that connect the lower part of the spine and the pelvis to the top of the Femur (thigh bone).

They bend the hip and assist in turning the thigh inwards.

When the thigh is 'fixed', i.e. if you are lying down, these muscles pull on the spine to raise your torso to the sitting position. This is the main muscle that is exercised in a full sit-up.
