Today’s exercise of the day is the hinge!
This will build on yesterday’s movement. Like yesterday, stand tall, and straighten your back: no arch or bend. You’ll keep this neutral position on the whole time.
Shift your hips back with your knees slightly bent, to allow your back to stay straight.
A crucial note here is that it looks like upper body, but what’s doing the movement is lower body: hamstrings and glutes.
Your upper body is “clamped on”, meaning you just hold that position. What’s actually driving the movement is that stretch in your hamstrings in the back of your legs, then the glute squeeze to push your hips forward and stand back up.
Again, this one is a thinker. Move through 10 reps the best you can. Let me know if you need help with it!
