If you run, the single-leg RDL is a must. It builds strength, stability, and control through the hips and hamstrings — all the things that keep your stride efficient and your body durable.
Start with the basic hinge: stand on one foot, keep your spine long, hinge from the hips, feel that hamstring stretch, then drive through your glutes to return to the top.
Try these progressions to level up:
• TheraBand under the big toe to wake up your medial arch
• Kettlebell pass at the bottom to seriously challenge balance and control
These variations train the foot, hip, and hamstring the way runners actually use them.
