Single-Leg Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift

How to do it

1. Hold one dumbbell in the hand opposite your standing leg. Stand on one foot with a soft knee.

2. Hinge at the hip and let your free leg travel straight back as your chest travels down, so your body forms one line from head to heel.

3. Let the dumbbell hang toward the floor and stop when your hamstring is stretched and your back is still flat.

4. Squeeze the standing glute to return upright. Balance improves quickly; touch a rack with your free hand for the first few sessions if you need to.
