https://www.instagram.com/p/CAaqUJNHsnV/ We hip hinge everyday and we don’t even realize it. Try these hip hinge alternatives to get down the basics of the movement. ... 1 Start in on both knees in a Tall Kneeling position. Place hands behind your back with or without kettlebell/dumbbell, etc 2 Slowly sit your butt back into your heels keeping your spine in neutral and core braced through the entire movement. 3 Return to starting position. / (you can use a broom stick or foam roller in place of a dowel) 1 Stand with your feet slightly more than shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward. 2 Place the dowel vertically on your back. Grasp one end with your right hand in the natural curve of your neck and the other end with your left hand in the small of your back. Make sure the dowel is touching the back of your head, your upper back between your shoulder blades, and your tailbone (sacrum). 3 Shift your weight to your heels and and bend your knees to push your hips back towards the wall behind you, hinging at your hips. Think about sticking your butt out behind you. As you hinge, the dowel should not lose contact with those three points mentioned above. If it does, start from the beginning . 4 Lower your torso until it’s midway between vertical and parallel to the floor. Pause. Keep a slight bend in your knees during the downward and upward phase. 5 Reverse the movement by contracting your glutes and pushing your hips forward and upward to return to the starting position. . . . . . #health #healthy #healthandwellness #wellness #healthylifestyle #healthcare #selfcare #doctor #chiropractor #sports #athlete #rehab #exercise #mobility #stretch #bandexercises #backpain #back #neck #neckpain #prevention #movement #workout #posture #sanfrancisco See more
