'BIG DOORS SWING ON SMALL HINGES' ... so let's get your body's HINGE stronger.
Today, we are gonna be working on the HIP HINGE. (Trevor Wicken)
The Hinge is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT FUNCTONAL movement patterns in your Human Movement System.
You literally HINGE every time you stand up, sit down, reach down, reach up, and walk.
This area you target during a Hinge is called your LUMBO-PELVIC-HIP Complex and it is responsible for:
- Allowing your trunk to bend forward
- Allowing you to stand up straight
- Prevent falling forward and backward
- Stabilizing your spine
- Transferring force from your foot to your opposite side neck & arm
Therefore, it is very important to STRENGTHEN that pattern using external resistance SO THAT bending forward, standing upright, AND cancelling too much forward or backward movement as you walk becomes EASIER.
Today, I’m going to teach you LEVEL 1 hip hinging using a chair for balance and support. If you don’t need a chair DON’T USE ONE.
As you work on these HINGE patterns, PLEASE focus hard on BGB:
-Keep your blades down.
-Keep your abs in.
-Keep your butt driving the movement.

Hope you enjoy today's article and example of hip hinges. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. We had a nice get together yesterday to celebrate my St. Paddy's birthday. First time I've found a corned beef and cabbage recipe and my son did all the shopping for me and put it all together for us. ☺♥

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...

The intermittent fasting works wonders for me. I love that it gives the body room to rid itself of dead cells and works so well when we stop all foods a good three hours before retiring for the night. I've been sometimes one meal a day, and sometimes two. I know I'd see more weight loss if I'd keep up the exercise. It is really about building strength at this point too.
