Stiff-Legged-Deadlift

Why: This is one of the best overall exercises to strengthen all of the collective muscles that dictate your daily movements, from bending over to standing up. It’s also great for bone health as it’s a compound, weight-bearing exercise.

How: Begin with your heels as wide as your shoulders, and then turn your toes outward so they point to 11:00 and 1:00. Stand with a long tall spine to incorporate your core for support, and hold dumbbells so that your palms are facing inward, directly in front of your thighs. Simultaneously bend forward at the waist and push your hips backward as you bend your legs and lower your hips like a squat. Allow your arms to separate so that the dumbbells move downward and end outside of your feet, just in front of your toes. Keep your chest lifted high, and press into your heels to return to the starting position.[/su_box]
