3. Hip Hinge
The hip hinge will strengthen and firm your glutes. Adjust the length of the
suspension strap by pressing the cam buckle before putting any weight onto
the support pad. Face away from the anchor point, position the AB-EZE
support pad around the front of your hips, lean onto the pad, and walk your
feet back to the wall for support. Start with your body in a straight line from
your heels to head. Lower your chest down toward the floor by hinging at your
hips, not by rounding your back. You may bend your knees especially if your
hamstrings feel tight. Concentrate on squeezing your buttock muscles to return
to a straight body body position. Have a downward gaze and keep neck long.
Avoid pinching the back of your neck by lifting your chin. Hold pad at hips to
keep it from slipping up around belly.
