Kneeling Hip Hinge

Exercise Overview

This is a motor patterning exercise that is used to train hold a neutral spine in hip flexion activities like the squat or deadlift, and may be used as a warmup for activities like running. Maintain a braced core to keep the spine as neutral as possible during this exercise. Start by kneeling on a padded surface and holding a tall knee position. Hinge forwards at the hips as far as possible without flexing through the spine. Extend through the hips to straight back to an upright position.
