Single Leg Hinge with TRX

Consistency with Purpose

“You don’t have to be extreme just consistent!” This post came up on my feed and I thought I might use it as a strong piece of workout wisdom! My addition to that advice would be “ be consistent with purpose.” The purpose could be to move with less pain or move more carefree without the fear of falling.

Today’s movement is a simple single leg hinge with the TRX.
This can be done at a counter or a bar, or a bench. It can also be called the golf ball pick-up!

• If you are using TRX stand facing anchor, extend arms at chest level and keep palms facing down.
• Reach forward, Initiate the hinge move by reaching your hips back. My common cue is to shut the back door! Extend one leg straight back. Your body should form a T.
• Keep your hips square to the floor, think of Your hips as headlights pointing in the same direction!

I generally do 10-12 reps on both sides. This is a great movement for balance, leg strength and it works the core. It also fills the bill for a single leg movement, which we always want to incorporate into our workouts.

⚠ Caution ⚠ – Your back needs to be straight, no rounding! Draw your shoulders away from the ears as you reach your hips back, this will help engage core!
