Standing hip hinge hold

  • Duration: 6 min
  • Level: Beginner
  • Goal track: Weight loss

Stand with your feet hip-width apart and a soft bend in your knees, hands resting lightly on your hips. Keeping your back flat, slowly fold forward from your hips — not your waist — until you feel a gentle stretch along the back of your thighs, letting your hips push back behind you as your chest tips forward. Hold for 3 to 5 seconds, then slowly stand back up by driving your hips forward. Do 5 slow repetitions.
