Hip hinging is a foundational movement in my clinic! Deadlifts, kettlebell swings (though we usually use dumbbells!), and single leg deadlifts help build strength, power, and resilient backs and legs 💪
But what if standing for long periods isn’t realistic on a given day?
Here’s one option for those dealing with things like lower limb injuries, dizziness, fatigue, or deconditioning:
- Sit up on a higher surface
- Extend your legs slightly
- Roll your shoulders back
- Lower the weight down and back up with control
You can still train important movement patterns even when modifications are needed.
