Hip hinge

Step 1. Hip Hinge Exercise Description

Step 2. The hip hinge is a fundamental movement pattern that involves bending at the hips while keeping the spine neutral. It is commonly used in exercises like deadlifts, kettlebell swings, and good mornings. To perform a hip hinge:

Step 3. - Starting Position: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and a slight bend in your knees.

Step 4. - Hinge at the Hips: Push your hips back while maintaining a straight back. Your torso should lean forward, and your chest should stay up.

Step 5. - Lowering Phase: Continue to hinge until your torso is nearly parallel to the ground, or until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings.

Step 6. - Return to Standing: Drive through your heels and thrust your hips forward to return to the starting position.
