Lecture Notes

Key Topics Covered

• Hip Hinge & Forward Fold
  • Importance of pelvis movement over legs.
  • Effective cue: Focus on the butthole.

Detailed Breakdown

Hip Hinge & Forward Fold

• Primary Action: Movement should originate from the pelvis, not the legs.
• Universal Cue:
  • Ask participants if they know where their butthole is.
  • Most people will humorously acknowledge understanding this reference.
  • Useful because it is a familiar and clear reference point.

Exercise Setup

• Initial Setup: Position participants either on one leg or both legs.
• Instructions:
  • Bend over and pick an object up using the butthole as the reference point.
  • Imagine pointing the butthole up at the wall behind them.

Adjustments for Weight Distribution

• Weight Distribution:
  • In certain scenarios, instruct participants to yaw (slightly rotate) their butthole towards the stance leg or back leg to redistribute weight.

Key Benefits

• Universal Understanding: The butthole cue is effective across different ages and experience levels.
• Targeted Movement: Helps achieve the correct posture for hip hinge and weight distribution.

Practical Tip

• Try It: Encourage participants to try the butthole cue to understand its effectiveness.
