Exercise Of The Week: Single Leg RDL

The single leg RDL is an amazing exercise for strengthening the hamstrings and glutes.  This exercise also works the stabilizer muscles around the foot, knees and hips providing your body with a great balance challenge.

1) Hold two dumbbells in your hand
2) Stabilize on one leg
3) Starting the movement from the hips, begin to tilt your upper body forward and down
3) Kick your free leg behind you while lowering your upper body towards the ground until your torso is parallel to the floor

**TRAINERS TIPS** Allow the knee of the stable leg to bend slightly. Move your upper body and free leg simultaneously.  Always keep the back flat throughout the movement.
