Full Body:

Tip: WALL PRESS ROMANIAN DEADLIFT

To set up for the Single Leg Wall Press Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift, stand with the thighs parallel to each other. One knee will be bent to 90 degrees with the sole placed flat against the wall behind you. From this position, the hips will move back towards the wall as you hinge at the hip, lengthening the hamstrings and glutes on the stance leg.

The wall press action of the non-stance leg forces the glutes to be engaged. This engagement leads to a better contraction of the glutes, even on the stance leg.

Station 1: AEROBIC PACE : 10 min

At your own Pace

10 DB Seated Good Morning
