I’m learning to do RDL by backing up to the wall. YT videos are so useful.

Learning what a hip hinge feels like and getting comfortable with the motion can save you so much back pain and injury. Picking up heavy things doesn’t have to be dangerous. #agingshouldntsuck #afriendlynudge #hiphinge

I’ve only done a few single arm deadlifts since my shoulder replacement but single arm kettlebell swings are coming soon. It’s a great way to get comfortable with hip hinging and it definitely gets your heart rate going. #agingshouldntsuck #afriendlynudge #kbs #kettlebells #hiphinge

Learning what the hip hinge feels like can help improve our mobility, allow us to safely pick up heavier things and save us from a lot of lower back issues. #startwhereyouare #agingshouldntsuck #hiphinge

Mobility as well as safely picking heavy stuff up off the ground gets a lot easier when you start using the hip hinge. It’s one of the reasons why I like kettlebell swings and deadlifts. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #hiphinge

Add weight only when you own the movement.

Start light: dumbbell, kettlebell, backpack, grocery bag.
Hold it close. Hinge slowly. Stand up with control.
Skill before load.

Use a broomstick to learn the hinge.

Back of head. Upper back. Tailbone.
It is not there because your back is fragile. It is there to give you feedback.

Try the wall hinge:
Soften your knees. Push your hips back. Touch the wall with your butt. Stand tall.
The wall gives feedback and teaches your body what “hips back” feels like.

The hip hinge is simple:
Hips back. Torso forward. Spine long. Knees soft. Hamstrings load. Glutes load. Trunk active.
You use it in the gym, but more importantly, you use it in life.

The hip hinge teaches 3 things:
Use your hips. Brace your trunk. Keep the load close.
Your lower back should not have to do the whole job by itself.

Your back isn’t weak.

Your body may have forgotten how to hinge.
Your lower back should not have to do the whole job by itself. Your hips, glutes, core, legs, and trunk are supposed to help.
