This is a “bang for your buck” prehab exercise that everyone could benefit from. Whether you want to work on balance, single leg stability, trunk stability, hip hinge, hamstrings, or controlling weight shifting this covers it all. Every golfer I see gets prescribed this exercise because of the weight transfer component. I prefer a kettlebell over a dumbbell, but you can do this exercise with any type of weight! The second video shown is a nice variation if the bottom of the RDL is a challenging position for you or your client/patient. You can really focus in on maintaining balance while you repeatedly perform the hand off. I even have my older patients that are fall risk perform this exercise, the benefits are outstanding!
