THREE ESSENTIAL MOVES

Single-leg dead lift

Shift your weight onto your left leg, knee bent slightly. With your right leg slightly bent, lower your chest towards the floor, allowing your right leg to lift. Return to the start. Do 3 sets of 5 reps per side.

Bulgarian split squat

Take a step away from a bench. Reach your right foot back and rest it on the bench. Bend your left knee, lowering as far as you can with control. Push through your left foot to stand. Do 3 sets of 5 reps per side.

Elevated step-back lunge

Stand on a low bench. With your left foot, take a large step backwards and lower your left knee. Push through your right heel to stand. Do 3 sets of 5 reps per side, and raise the bench height as you progress.
