Step by step

1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, hands crossed at your chest or behind your head.
2. Brace your core and unlock your knees with a soft bend, keeping that bend constant through the rep.
3. Push your hips backward and bow your torso forward, keeping your back flat from head to tailbone.
4. Lower until you feel a deep stretch in the hamstrings or your torso is roughly parallel to the floor.
5. Drive your hips forward to lift your torso back up to standing, squeezing your glutes at the top.
6. Pause briefly upright before starting the next rep, keeping the same knee angle throughout the set.
