Instructions
Setup and Starting Position: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs. Ensure your grip is firm, and your palms are facing your body.
Movement: Keeping your legs straight or with a slight bend in the knees, initiate the movement by pushing your hips back while keeping a neutral spine and lowering the dumbbells over the front of your legs.
Lower the weights as far as you can while maintaining a flat back, typically until the dumbbells reach mid-shin level or you feel a stretch in your hamstrings.
Return and Repeat: Hold the position for a moment, then contract your hamstrings and glutes to reverse the motion. Push your hips forward to return to the starting upright position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain proper form to effectively target the intended muscle groups and prevent injury.
