Good Morning
Step 1 - Stand with feet hip-width apart, hands behind head
Step 2 - Hinge at hips, pushing bottom back while keeping chest up
Step 3 - Lower torso until parallel to the floor, feeling a stretch in the hamstrings
Step 4 - Drive hips forward to return to the standing position
Recommended Sets & Time:
Beginner: 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps, 60 seconds rest
Intermediate: 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps, 45 seconds rest
Advanced: 4-5 sets of 15-20 reps, 30 seconds rest
What to Focus On:
Hip hinge movement - This should feel like you're pushing your bottom back to sit in a chair
Lower back engagement - Your lower back muscles work to keep your spine straight as you hinge
Hamstring stretch - You should feel a stretch down the back of your legs as you lower
Chest up posture - Keep your chest proud and shoulders back throughout the movement
Modifications:
Easier: Only hinge halfway down instead of going parallel to the floor
Harder: Pause for 3 seconds at the bottom position before returning to standing
