"Push the hips back first...", "sit back on it", "heels!" are all cues that you have heard probably 100 times in your time at CFCH. We all know there's a reason for that, and part of it is safety! We want you to lift and squat using your big movers - like your hips - rather than your spine. CrossFit is about preparing you for all the things you want to do in life, whether it's picking up your kids, helping a friend move or doing yard work; this article makes the connection between real life situations and what we tell you about your hips in the gym.
