Posterior chain · Building · in reps · per side
Why it helps your running
Hamstrings, glutes and balance in one move: the stability you need when the ground shifts under your foot.
- You'll need
- nothing: just your bodyweight
- Tempo
- 3 s down, 1s pause, 1 s up
How to do it
- On one leg, knee just unlocked, hinge your torso forward over 3 seconds while the other leg extends behind you.
- Torso and rear leg form one line, hips stay square.
- Pause a second at the bottom, come back up by driving your hip forward.
- Same number each side, weaker side first.
Common mistakes
- The hip of the free leg opens up toward the ceiling.
- Your back rounds at the bottom.
- The standing knee caves inward.
