Bodyweight hip hinge
Learn to fold at the hips with a steady spine.
How to do it
- Stand with soft knees and hands on your hips.
- Move your hips back while tipping your torso forward.
- Stand by bringing your hips forward, without leaning back.
Form check
The movement comes mainly from the hips, not from rounding your back.
Make it easier
Use a smaller hinge facing away from a wall.
Move within a comfortable range and keep breathing. Stop if a movement causes pain or you feel unwell. Ask a qualified trainer for help with unfamiliar equipment.
