Bodyweight Hinge to Shallow Squat

Setup

Standing with feet shoulder-width apart, maintain an upright torso and engage your core.

Movement

1. Hip Hinge: Initiate the movement by pushing your hips backward, keeping your back flat and a slight bend in your knees, lowering your torso until it is nearly parallel to the floor.

2. Transition: Without pausing, transition into a Shallow Squat by dropping your hips lower while keeping your chest lifted.

3. Return: Push through your heels to return to the starting standing position. Ensure your weight remains distributed evenly through your feet throughout both phases of the movement.

Key Tips

• Keep your spine neutral throughout the transition.

• Focus on feeling the stretch in your hamstrings during the hinge portion.
