Move of the week: kneeling good morning exercises wake up the posterior chain
By Chloe Gray
3 years ago
Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: kneeling good mornings.
Your posterior chain — the muscles and joints that run down the back of the body — often get neglected. Not only do we spend the whole day sat on them when we’re at our desk, many of our workouts also favour our front: running works the quads and lunges in the gym or yoga can recruit the front of the legs, too.
As your glutes and hamstrings stabilise your hips and pelvis, there are big benefits to showing them some attention. The best way is by starting the day with mobility and activation exercises that can help reduce the likelihood of pain and discomfort in the area. Our favourite? Kneeling good mornings.
