I was gonna start doing the good morning exercise, making sure I understand the prerequisites first. Looks like I got this, thanks.

I just learned about the hip hinge recently. For the last 2 years I’ve been having this low back joint pain when I squat and my squat has been weak. But I started learning the hip hinge and now my squat going up with barley any pain still working on no pain and still relearning the deadlift with the hip hinge. Also a cue I learned was to “pretend your closing a drawer behind you”

Finally. This made sense to me. Thank you.

I would suggest deadlifting a mop handle, engaging your core, bending your knees slightly on the way down and THINK about pulling yourself up using your glutes. Do all steps slowly at first until you get a rhythm. Good Luck😎

Sara how are you please tech me or show me how to do kegel exercise I want tighten my pelvic muscles thank you how to do beginner

[shreyasood]

Hi if I understand correctly I should keep my spine straight and not tilt my pelvis during hip hinge .thanks

[europeanguy]

Do 3 sets of 15 with a stick while u press it on those 3 points. Once you start walking completely relaxed it literally sets you in the perfect posture like that's the way you should normally walk .. ;) if it feels unatural it means ur posture is bad.

Hi, so I want to pick any item from floor, then should I first hip hinge and then bend my knees also ? Thanks.

What I have understood from YOUR video that Pelvis should be neutral neither Anterior nor Posterior while hip hinges?
Am I right?

[kathyfennell]

Is it okay to feel a tightening, but no movement in your back when hip hinging?

[Jasper-tdqx]

When I hip hinge, I keep my core tight and rigid. However I get frustrated because I can never feel a stretch in my glutes. Instead, I feel it in my calves :/

Nice exercise. I think it really trains the body (certain muscles) to do what it is suppose to do. I use this exercise to create proper glute/ham function and strengthening, dynamic back stretching for my lumber region and build up 👆 deep abdominal strength.
