Basic Human Movement Part One-The Hinge
I'm starting this off with the hinge pattern because it's probably the most important movement for carryover into everyday life. Learning how to properly bend at the hips while keeping the spine neutral is crucial for overall strength, low back health, and improving our ability to pick stuff up. In this era of "functional strength," it doesn't get more functional than that.
The hinge pattern involves maximal hip displacement with minimal knee flexion. In non geek speak, that means stick your butt out as far as you can and bend your knees a little. The old adage to "lift with your legs" is not only goofy looking but inefficient. However, training the hinge pattern can be tricky because many of us don't know where to begin, or even what a properly neutral spine feels like. In order to improve this body awareness, I suggest starting with the romanian deadlift. It can be done with a barbell, dumbbells, kettlebells, or even just a broomstick for the beginners out there. I'm posting a pretty detailed video below, but the best way to learn is through practice with a qualified instructor(I may know such a person). http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XowKMitOVNc
