How to do it

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and rest your hands lightly behind your head or cross them over your chest.
2. With a slight bend in your knees, push your hips back and lean your torso forward, keeping your back flat.
3. Lower until your torso is close to parallel to the floor or until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings.
4. Squeeze your glutes and drive your hips forward to return to standing, then repeat.

Form tips

• Move only at the hips; keep your back flat and your chest open.
• Don't pull on your head with your hands; they only rest there.
• Go only as low as you can while keeping your back flat.
