How to do it
- Stand upright holding a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs with your palms facing your body. Keep your feet shoulder width apart and a slight bend in your knees. This will be your starting position.
- As you breathe in, push your hips back and slowly lower the dumbbells by bending at the waist while keeping your back straight. Lower the weights until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings. Tip: Keep the dumbbells close to your legs throughout the movement.
- As you exhale, raise your torso back to the starting position by extending your hips and squeezing your glutes at the top.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
