How to do the Single-Leg Deadlift

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, then shift weight onto one foot.
2. Hinge at the hips, lowering your torso forward while the free leg extends behind you.
3. Keep a slight bend in the standing knee and let your arms hang naturally as you move.

Tips

• Aim for your torso and back leg to form a straight line parallel to the floor.
• Maintain a long spine so your body stays aligned.

Adjustments

• Touch your back toes to the floor between reps if you need help with balance.
