Instructions

Setup

Standing upright with feet hip-width apart, place your toes on the elevated head of a pair of dumbbells.

Movement

  1. While keeping your legs straight but not locked, hinge at your hips to push your glutes backward.

  2. Keep your back flat or with a slight natural arch throughout the movement, avoiding any rounding of the spine.

  3. Lower your torso until it is nearly parallel to the floor, focusing on feeling a deep stretch along the back of your legs (hamstrings).

  4. Engage your glutes and hamstrings to return to the starting upright position by driving your hips forward.
