Let’s tackle another posterior chain exercise, shall we? This one is particularly popular right now.  I see many people giving it a try.

Here are a few tips.  Put the dumbbell or hand weight (or soup can for that matter) – in the same hand as the leg that you will be lifting to the rear.  You may need to touch the wall beside you to stay balanced but try to do it without if you can.  Keep your hips level (try to not over-rotate as you tip forward) and your standing leg almost straight but your knee should stay ‘soft’.  Concentrate on engaging the glutes and hamstrings as you return to upright.
