hip flexors

Thought.....if you have a middle age woman, wanting to get into shape, not competing for an athletic event, why would you have her hang by an overhead bar, and have her pull her knees up to her chest??? I wish someone would explain this to me. Am I missing something?? Seriously....are we stable enough within the scapula-thoracic area...do we really recruit more than the iliopsoas...how much abdominal is recruited during this movement...

Yes, this can be discussed, but shouldn't it be discussed before we tried the movement on a middle age woman? AND is this exercise appropriate for this gal?? THINK!!!!!
