Coach's Tips

This deadlift puts more load on one leg, helping balance your glutes and hamstrings.

1. Stand shoulder-width apart holding a dumbbell in each hand, with one foot forward and one foot back.

2. Shift your weight onto the front foot and slightly bend your knee to prepare.

1. Send your hips back and slowly lower your upper body so that the dumbbell goes down towards the floor.

2. Lower yourself until you feel a stretch in the back of your front thigh, then rise using your hip strength.

3. After the designated number of repetitions, switch your front and back legs and repeat.

Inhale when lowering your upper body, and exhale when rising.

1. Open your chest and avoid looking down too much to prevent your back from bending.

2. If you feel pain in your knees, reduce the range of motion or stop immediately.

3. It's best to start with light weights to stabilize your balance first.
