To do the exercise: Keep your back straight and knees locked during the movement. Use a loaded barbell, and lower down till you grip it, keeping your legs locked.Hinge as forward as you can without bending your knees, and lift the weight up till it's parallel to your waist.Lower back down, and repeat. <h3>#2 Single-leg Romanian Deadlift</h3> This exercise works the gluteus medius, which is responsible for stabilizing the hips and rotating them to help with walking, running, and jumping.

Once you're able to do five repetitions with ease, try adding weights or doing the move faster by lifting and lowering your hips in one-second intervals rather than three (you will still be holding each rep for three seconds). Another way to progress is by performing single-leg bridges. So instead of putting both feet straight on top of each other at the end of each rep, place one foot above and behind you while keeping the other foot planted firmly on the ground.

Perform this exercise with an empty kettlebell, or if you're new to it, start with a lighter weight before going heavy. To do a kettlebell swing: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and hold the kettlebell in front of your body with both hands.Hinge forward slightly at the hips while keeping your back flat and knees soft (don't lock them) till the kettlebell reaches knee height.

This is where you should take note of any soreness in your lower back before continuing, as that could indicate that you are rounding too much during the movement. If so, adjust by leaning more forward from the hips rather than bending from the waist. That will help engage more muscles around the lumbar spine for support and improve posture when performing other exercises like squats or deadlifts.
