Isolated Single Leg Deadlift with
Chest Opener
10 on each side before your workout or first thing in the morning.
Isolated Deadlift & Chest Opener: Place one foot on a bench behind you. Your bed or couch will do the trick too. Take a belt or strap of any kind and hold it in front of you with your hands about 3-4 feet apart.
Reach for the floor with both hands keeping your rear end up in the air – this is not a squat. Kick out your tail bone. You should feel a stretch through the back of the leg on the floor. Squeeze your butt as you raise to upright and raise your arms overhead and around to your back. The strap should be taught and you feel a big stretch through the chest and shoulders. Make sure to lift your chest so it opens nicely allowing full range of motion to the back and front.
Swing the arms back to the front and repeat. Don’t lose sight of your form during the deadlift. Your back should be really straight, so if you find you’re rounding your back to reach the floor, try not to reach so low… Form first:)
