Bodyweight Single Leg Deadlift
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Slowly bend forward at the hips, keeping your back straight and extending your free leg behind you for balance.
Continue to bend forward until your torso is parallel to the floor, or as far as your flexibility allows, making sure to keep your standing leg slightly bent.
Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly return to the starting position, maintaining balance and control throughout the movement.
Repeat the exercise for your desired number of repetitions, then switch legs and perform the same number of repetitions with the other leg.
Pro Tip
Keep Your Focus: Balance is key in this exercise. To help maintain balance, find a fixed point in front of you and keep your gaze on it throughout the movement. This will help you stay steady and ensure you are performing the exercise correctly. Use Your Hips: The single leg deadlift is a hip hinge movement, meaning the action should come from your hips, not your knees. Push your hips back as you lower your body and drive them forward as you return to the standing position. Avoid Rushing: Many people rush through the exercise, which can lead to a loss of balance and poor form. Take your time with each repetition
