How to do it
- Stand with your feet hip width, hands behind your head and a soft bend in your knees.
- Brace your core and keep your back flat from your head to your tailbone.
- Push your hips straight back and let your torso tip forward until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings.
- Squeeze your glutes to drive your hips forward and stand back up tall.
Coaching cues
- Your back stays flat the whole time, stop tipping the moment it wants to round.
- Think about pushing your hips back toward a wall behind you rather than bending down.
