1m 49s
The Single Leg RDL is a key lower body move to eliminate strength imbalances, improve lower body stability, and protect your knees and hips from injury. From standing, lift one leg lightly off the ground to balance on the other. Soften your knees, and begin to hinge forward at your hips, extending your raised leg behind. Your goal is a strong T shape. Stay balanced, reaching your arms to the ground to find alignment. If you find yourself shaking in this sequence, that’s okay! Find your own range of motion and move within that to establish balance. Activate your glutes as you hinge up to standing. Switch sides!
