Again and again I am reminded what a perfect lower body exercise the Deadlift is.

Right up there with squats and lunges, the move is a common motion that you use over and over in your ADL (activities of daily life).

Deadlifts make your body strong for so many activities. It works directly on your booty, also involving your quads, hamstrings, lower back, abs and most every other muscle in your body.

Good, safe execution of the deadlift requires full range of motion in the hips, knees and ankles – all of which can be trained progressively through proper warm-up, lead-in exercises and post-workout stretching.

Take the time to learn how to do a Deadlift properly, using strict form. Either with dumbbells or with a barbell.

Stay strong. Stay Young.
