Want to feel your glutes more during RDLs—without your lower back taking over? Try the cable RDL.

The cable creates a more horizontal line of resistance, which encourages you to push your hips backward and load the glutes through the hinge. It can also be a more comfortable variation for people who feel excessive strain with traditional barbell RDLs.

A few key cues:

✅ Keep a soft bend in your knees
✅ Push your hips straight back
✅ Keep your ribs stacked and spine controlled
✅ Finish by driving your hips forward—not leaning backward

Avoid rounding through your lower back just to create more range. Only go as far as you can maintain a strong, controlled hinge.

Save this one for your next lower-body workout!

🏋️Fix your hip shift during the squat with a kettlebell weight shift!🏋🏻‍♀️

If you noticed your hips shifting during a squat it may be due to a restriction in hip opening.

You can test this with the figure 4 or FABER test. While on your back place one ankle on your opposite knee and let your knee fall out toward the ground creating a figure 4. Test both sides and see if one hip is restricted compared to the other.

If you found a difference then you may benefit from the kettlebell weight shift. Grab a kettlebell and get into a single leg kneel position with one foot out toward the side. I’d say start with the restricted side. Squeeze your glutes to open that hip up. Then shift toward that side. You should feel an additional stretch in the hip and groin muscles. Try 5 reps of 5 second holds on each side.

Retest to see if you had any positive benefit from this drill. You’ll also want to follow this up with drills to enhance hip stability especially throughout the lateral hip musculature.

I’m excited to share that I’ve recently become an affiliate for AG1! AG1

AG1 is a daily nutritional supplement made with 75+ ingredients, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, prebiotics, antioxidants, and whole-food-sourced nutrients. It’s designed to help fill common nutritional gaps while supporting gut health, immune health, and sustained energy.

As a physical therapist, I talk constantly about choosing the right exercises, building strength, and staying consistent with your training—but what we put into our bodies matters just as much. Quality nutrition gives us the foundation we need to train, recover, and feel our best.

AG1 isn’t meant to replace a balanced diet, but I’ve found it to be a convenient way to support my daily nutrition—especially on busy days.

In this video, I share my personal experience, explain what AG1 is, and show you the welcome kit and special offer currently available.

Think your shoulders are “tight”? Let’s find out 👀

Try this quick wall test:

1️⃣ Sit with your back flat against the wall.
2️⃣ Raise a PVC pipe or broomstick overhead with your palms facing forward.
3️⃣ Repeat with your palms facing the wall.

If your mobility becomes noticeably worse during the second test, your lats may be limiting your overhead position.

Try one of these:

🔹 Foam-Roller Lat Release
Lie on your side with the roller just below your armpit. Reach your arm overhead and slowly roll along the outer edge of your upper back. Pause on tender areas and take 3–5 slow breaths. Spend 45–60 seconds per side.

🔹 Loaded Lat Pullover
Lie on a bench while holding a light dumbbell above your chest. Keep your ribs down and slowly lower the weight behind your head until you feel a stretch through the lats. Return with control. Perform 2 sets of 8–10 reps.

Then retest your overhead mobility and see if it improves!

Save this video for your next upper-body workout—and send it to someone who struggles to get their arms overhead.

🔥 Want stronger, more resilient hamstrings? Grab a pair of sliders and give this a try.

Start in a bridge, slowly extend your legs, and then use your hamstrings to pull your heels back toward you. The goal is to keep your hips elevated and control the entire movement—not rush through it.

Too difficult? Scale it by:

✅ Focusing only on the slow lowering portion (Eccentric Portion)
✅ Dropping your hips before resetting
✅ Shortening the range of motion

This is a great exercise for runners, lifters, and athletes who want to build hamstring strength through a longer range of motion.

Try **3 sets of 6–10 controlled reps** and let me know how your hamstrings feel afterward. 🔥

Save this for your next lower-body workout and send it to someone who is always complaining about tight hamstrings!

Single Leg RDLs

This exercise has so many applications and is an awesome addition to any training program.

It challenges your stability and will fatigue your stabilizer muscles around the ankle and hip

It can absolutely crush your hamstrings and glutes, especially as we start to load this with some heavy weight

If you’re an athlete or runner I really love this in your lower body program.

Save this and give it a try during your next workout!
Tag a friend to see if they have the balance to pull it off 😂

Stop neglecting your hip flexors!

This is one of my favorite movement patterns for the hip flexors, especially for runners and athletes

It does a great job of bringing that hip through a full range of motion similar to the demands of running

You’ll also feel a good burn on your stance leg - that hip has to work hard to stabilize your while you’re driving the other leg up and down

Save this and give it a try during your next workout!

FIRE UP THOSE HIPS 🔥

Standing Fire Hydrants are one of my favorite drills to target multiple functions of the hips

On your stance leg your working on stability and endurance - you’ll feel that outer hip musculature burning

Then we’re focusing on stabilizing through the pelvis and moving ONLY through the opposite hip joint - not twisting or turning

Use these as an activation drill before a run - 15 reps for 3” holds
Or as a endurance drill - 3 sets of AMAP
