Transfer your body weight on your right leg without sinking into your hip and lift the heel of your left leg so you have a balance point.
Slowly begin lifting your left leg up behind you while your chest lowers toward the floor. Put one hand on top of the other and slide them down your right thigh as you hinge your hips into this hold. Stop with your hands just above your shin and when your back leg cannot lift anymore or your chest is parallel to the ground.
Your right leg is now loaded into the single-leg deadlift. Make sure to keep a straight line from head to lifted heel and keep your knee in line with your toes.
Hold for 30 seconds. Return to standing by lifting your chest and lowering your back leg. Switch sides. Complete two 30-second holds on each side.
