How to Master Single Leg RDL’s🤌🏽⤵️

If you’re a complete beginner, begin with a basic balance and reaching exercise. You can reach for an object to make it easier. If you want to increase the difficulty reach farther down to touch the floor.

When you’re prepared to incorporate a weight, start with a light one and gradually increase the weight as you progress.

Hold the weight in the hand opposite to your working leg. The hand gripping the weight should be the same side leg that kicks backward during the downward phase of the exercise.

Maintain a neutral neck and back position, tucking your chin in, as you go down.

During the downward phase, hinge your hips back and engage your glutes as you stand back up.

Avoid locking out the knee on your supporting leg; maintain a slight bend throughout the entire movement.

It’s acceptable to have a slight bend in the back leg, but aim to extend it as far back as possible with the toes pointing downward to maximize the benefits. Think of lifting the heel toward the ceiling.

Benefits of this exercise:

✨ Balance & Stability

✨ Identify & correct muscle imbalances

✨ Great way to build posterior chain

Save this for your next leg day & make sure to add single leg RDL’s to your routine💪🏽
