We talk about knee pain quite a bit on this blog. The function of our glute muscles are to externally rotate, extend and abduct the hip. These motions are vital to squatting lunging, running etc. and keeping our knees in a healthy position. Check out this video by Mike Reinold below:
The single leg RDL exercise by itself taxes hip extension and abduction. Adding the rip trainer puts icing on the cake and works our hip external rotators. I thought this would be an a great exercise for those out there with knee pain. Give it a whirl!
Great exercise Mike,
Dan Pope
