FEATURED WORKOUT: DEADLIFTS

If done properly, this workout is an excellent for overall body development! The move works out all the major muscles in the abdomen and lower body. Try adding this move to a workout routine to develop strength and stability.

  • Stand with feet about hip-distance apart and hold weights in front of thighs.
  • Keeping the shoulders back, abdomen in, and the back straight, tip from the hips and lower the weights towards the floor.
  • Lower as far as your flexibility allows. You can bend the knees slightly if you need to.
  • Push into the heel to go back to starting position.
  • Do 1-3 sets of 10-16 repetitions.

Tips: Don't round the shoulders forward. To keep your back flat, look up as you lower down. Don't bend the knees as you lower down. This is not a squat, but a move that comes from the hips. Keep your knee at the same angle throughout the movement. Use light weights until you get the hang of the movement.
