- Kettlebell Swing-This corrects a lot of hamstring and hip extension problems by balancing the muscles that we use. Many times we use only our quads and ignore hamstrings/glutes/hip flexors (runners especially).
- Single-Leg Romanian Deadlift-You must start this without weight and add weight as you get the hang of it. This also works hamstrings/glutes/hip flexors but it does it while working on balance at the same time.
- External and Internal Shoulder Rotations (or Shoulder W's)-Most men have internally rotated shoulders because we have only worked our chest and shoulder muscles. These exercises help restore balance and condition the rotator cuff muscles and middle trapezius.
- Turkish Get-up-I'm just now working on this exercise, but it focuses on stability and mobility throughout the body while moving from lying down to standing up and back.
Here's a link to an ACE Journal article on corrective stretches and exercises.
What problems have you had that needed to be corrected? What's your favorite exercise for correcting problems?
