Hip Hinge

Key Points

Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement. Do not let your spine flex (round) or backbend.

Press your big toes into the floor. Lift your arches and distribute your weight evenly through your entire foot.

Keep vertical shins. Keep your knees over your ankles. Do not let your knees drive back in space.

Can you feel your hamstrings (the muscles on the backs of your thighs) engage to bring you back up to standing?

Stand tall at the top.
