Why it helps your running
Teaches the hip hinge with a flat back: hamstrings lengthening under tension, just like at the end of your stride.
- You'll need
- nothing: just your bodyweight
- Tempo
- 3 s down, 1 s up
How to do it
- Stand tall, hands behind your head or crossed on your chest, knees slightly unlocked.
- Push your hips back and hinge forward over 3 seconds, back flat, until you feel your hamstrings.
- Come back up by driving your hips forward, squeeze your glutes at the top.
Common mistakes
- Rounding your back: the movement comes from the hips, not the lower back.
- Bending the knees too much, which turns it into a squat.
