One of my new favorites, this is the perfect exercise for grooving on the movement I like to call "hinging." Push your butt back and keep pushing back until your knees have to bend so you can push your butt back even more. Keep a flat back and only let your face come down because you have to keep pushing your butt back. Those things on the back of your legs are called "hamstrings." Use a stick at first (pictured) so you can see that your back is flat. And do it in front of a wall so you can keep touching the wall with your butt, stepping forward a little, then repeating. The goal is to keep touching the wall, not to get low. "Hinging" is a back-and-forth motion, not an up-and-down motion. Once you're comfortable, hold a weight on your chest, squeeze your shoulder blades together and prepare to walk funny tomorrow.
Coach Stevo's Top Tips
- Keep repeating, "Butt back," over and over.
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together the entire time.
- Don't be afraid to put your torso between your legs if your butt can go back that far.
