Only TWO days left until the New Year, NewU sale is over! Start the year off right by being pain-free and getting 24% off the Membership - link in bio! 💪 Have you been told not to squat or deadlift because of back pain? Or maybe you don’t squat because of hip or back pain...🤨
This is a simple/intermediate exercise to retrain your brain, glutes, and hamstrings to be closer to squatting again - because squatting (bending and lifting) is an active movement that you MUST DO in order to live an active life.👍
For this exercise, you’re going to need a table.
Here’s how to do it:
Scoot down so you’re hip points are anchored on the table and your thighs can move freely.
With your knees bent to 90 degrees, widen them and position your feet as if you were squatting.
Maintaining a bent knee, drop your thighs down and under you as if you were getting into a low squat - remember to keep the natural arch in your back and to brace your core.
Drive your heels up toward the sky until you reach maximal extension - feel it in your glutes and hamstrings.
To return to bending and lifting (i.e., squatting and deadlifting) again, get the MoveU App and start at Level 1 of the Hips & Glutes Program - link is in the bio as always! 😛
