# Bodyweight Single Leg Deadlift

Stand with your feet together and your hands by your sides or on your hips.

## How to do it

1. Stand with your feet together and your hands by your sides or on your hips.
2. Lift your right leg straight back and lean forward at the hips, keeping your back straight, until your torso is parallel to the floor.
3. Return to the starting position by lowering your right leg and raising your torso back to upright.
4. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the left leg

## Form tips

- Maintain an upright posture and look forward to help with balance.
- Keep a slight bend in your standing knee to avoid locking it and to protect your joints.
- Focus on keeping your movements smooth and steady to maintain proper form and avoid injury.
