Runners and none - Runners ❗️ Single Leg Deadlift is a must-have exercise.
Stand in front of a mirror and check how you perform it, move slowly.
• Is your hip staying level, or does one side drop?
• Is your body aligned, or are you rotating or leaning?
• Do you feel stable, or does balance feel challenging on one side? 💡
running is basically a series of single-leg movements, so balance and movement control should be first priority.
Often, runners discover hidden asymmetries here: weakness, poor hip control, or instability that can later show up as overload, discomfort, or inefficient running mechanics.
✅ The goal is not just strength, but control and awareness:
– stable pelvis
– aligned torso
– controlled movement from the hip
– smooth balance throughout the motion
This exercise supports better running mechanics, improves force transfer, and helps reduce unnecessary stress on knees and lower legs.
If you’re unsure whether you’re performing it correctly, this is exactly what we look at during running gait analysis — connecting movement quality with how you actually run.
📚 You can also find guided exercise demonstrations inside my online exercise library, where each movement is explained step-by-step to help you execute it safely and effectively.
