The primary function of your hips is to hold up your body’s weight. Not just while you stand, run or walk either. Your hips are doing the hard work of holding up your body even while you’re sitting down. If you ignore your hips now…you’ll be in trouble later!

Check out the 4 different exercises in this one movement:

Switch legs each set.
Focus on maintaining your balance as you push the dumbbells overhead and use a powerful effort during the dumbbell push.
Don’t have dumbbells? Use plastic water bottles, canned food, even a milk jug!
