Hip Hinge#1719

I feel like the programme lacks hip hinge. Squats feel too knee dominant. What should I add to train hip hinge, hamstring etc? Also I am done with twists, does windmill count as a rotation exercises to replace the twist?

Hey. This is Chrys one if the trainers at Hybrid.
You’re not wrong. The base routine is a little squat dominant early on, especially if your mobility pushes you forward into the knees. To balance that out, add a simple hip hinge pattern. Glute bridges are already one, but you can double down with hip hinge drills like slow Romanian-style hinges using bodyweight, good mornings with hands on hips, or single leg hinges holding onto something for balance. Focus on pushing the hips back and feeling the stretch in the hamstrings. That’ll take pressure off the knees and round things out.
And yes, windmills absolutely count as a rotational exercise. They’re a great replacement once twists are done, especially since they add hip and thoracic mobility along with rotation.
