Quad and hip flexor strength, less tightness, and reducing injury risk? This exercise does it all!
Save these steps! Reverse nordic curls are an incredible exercise that targets both quad STRENGTH (especially eccentric!) and flexibility. It’s one of the more advanced but highly respected ways to build control with this huge muscle group! I love this exercise because it emphasizes core stability, postural strength, AND lengthens the quad not only at its distal attachment by the knee but also at the hip! Use these modifications to practice baby steps until you got them down. Tips: • Remember to tuck the pelvis to prevent your low back from arching, keep the chin tucked, and squeeze glutes to stabilize. Push with the shins to bring yourself forward.
Danielle Webster Fitness LLC | Hypertrophy | Fitness Tips on Instagram: "❌DON’T HOLD THE WEIGHT LIKE THIS❌ When you hold the weight at your chest for a 45° glute raise, you decease the length of the moment arm making it so that you are working harder to hold the weight and the glutes aren’t being maximally loaded.

🔥Strengthen your Glute Medius!🔥 (Try All 3!)
. . . 🤓🔑The gluteus medius is one of your 3 glute muscles and plays an important role in hip stability (especially in the frontal plane). Anytime you stand on 1 leg, that side glute medius is working to keep your hip from dropping. —— 🎯One of the best ways to challenge this muscle is perform a dynamic single leg focused exercise that keeps the hip from dropping. --- ✅The first 2 exercises use a foam roller and ball as external feedback to engage the glute medius. These tools can be helpful when you are trying to focus on that muscle activating while stabilizing on one leg. —- 🎯The last exercise is great for the glutes, but can be done incorrectly if you’re not careful. Use the wall to slide the heel on, to make sure that Glute medius is doing the work!
