Featured Move: Hip Bridge Roll Out on the Smart Stability Ball
Featured Product: Smart Stability Ball
The hip bridge rollout is a great workout for the hamstrings, abs, glutes, and lower back. If you have a job where you are sitting or driving for long periods of time, your posterior chain muscles can get weaker, while the hip flexors have a tendency shorten, making them feel tight. This can lead to poor posture and slouching. An exercise such as the hip bridge rollout helps target and strengthen your glutes and lower back muscles, helping to keep your posture upright in either a standing or sitting position.
What the experts say:
This exercise is a great alternative for those who have a hard time with squats because of hip or knee pain.
