Are you happy with your butt? I am sure most of us aren’t. There are innumerable complaints like some of us have big butt, some of us have small, some have a complaint of having saggy butt and likewise the list is endless. So, here is one-legged deadlift a special exercise that helps strengthening and firming your upper thigh and butt muscles.
Normally deadlifts with both the legs are challenging. But doing deadlifts with just one leg will be all the more challenging and will be beneficial as it requires more strength on the working leg to balance and add intensity. Here are the steps that would help you doing one legged deadlift.
- Take weight and hold it with both your hands.
- Bend from the spine such that the weight held hands come in front of thighs.
- Take your left leg behind with the toe touching the floor and heel in air.
- For a more challenging situation you can lift your left leg completely.
- Make sure that your shoulders are stretched backwards, tummy inside and spine erect.
- Now lower the weights downwards towards the floor.
- Lower the weights as much as you can create some tension in the spine and butt. If necessary bend your knee a little.
- Now shove the heel back to the starting position.
- Repeat the above steps for a few times alternating the legs.
