Negative Good-Morning

Setup

• Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.

• Keep a slight bend in your knees, maintaining this angle throughout the entire movement.

• Place your hands together at your chest or on your hips.

Movement

• Hinge at your hips, pushing your glutes backward as if trying to touch a wall behind you with your hips.

• Keep your back perfectly straight and your chest up. Look forward or slightly down to maintain a neutral spine.

• Lower your torso until it is nearly parallel to the floor, or until you feel a comfortable stretch in your hamstrings.

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

• Keep your core braced throughout the movement to protect your lower back.
