Single Leg Hinge

Targets: Glutes, core, arms, and back.

1. Stand holding dumbbells with palms facing front of thighs.

2. Hinge forward 90 degrees at hips as you lift left leg behind you, so that your body is parallel to floor (from head to left heel) with arms hanging down.

3. Rise to starting position.

4. Do 15 reps and repeat on other side.

"An absolute favorite body sculpting move that will tone the back of the thighs and glutes. This variation uses one leg at a time so that you can focus on each individual side — adding a balance challenge."
