There is one all-important movement that you should be able to perform as you age. This is because it challenges not only your balance, but your flexibility, and your stability. The single led RDL is a good indicator of physical health and longevity.
The importance of the movement pattern that the single leg RDL falls under, the hip hinge, cannot be understated. Effectively being able to hinge, at any age, is not just a determinate of your body’s flexibility, stability, and balance but longevity as well.
Being able to master this movement will ensure that as you age and longevity becomes the focus of your training, you will be on the right track. Not only that, but you will increase your flexibility in your posterior chain, the mobility of your hips, and your stability and balance since you are performing this exercise on one leg at a time.
Simply, if you want to live longer and healthier, then you need to start incorporating this exercise into your daily routine.
