Intermediate Dumbbell GlutesHamstringsLower Back

How to do it

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. As you exhale, raise your torso back to the starting position by extending your hips and squeezing your glutes at the top.
  4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
