Instructions
1. Stand on a resistance band with your feet shoulder-width apart to secure it under your feet.
2. Bring the other end of the band behind your neck, holding it securely at your shoulders with your hands.
3. Stand up straight, with your knees slightly bent, back straight, and core engaged.
4. Hinge at your hips, pushing your buttocks back, and lower your torso forward while maintaining a straight back.
5. Lower yourself until your upper body is nearly parallel to the ground, or as far as comfortable without rounding your back.
6. Push through your heels and use your hamstrings and glutes to return to the starting position.
7. Repeat for the desired number of reps and sets.
Be sure to keep your neck in a neutral position aligned with your spine throughout the movement, and avoid jerking or bouncing at the bottom of the movement. Adjust the resistance of the band to suit your fitness level.
