Tall 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. 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. Allow the hips to move back as you hinge forwards at the hips. Extend through the hips to straight back to an upright position.
