Setup

Stand with feet shoulder width apart knees slightly bent and arms at sides holding a dumbbell in one hand, then raise one foot in behind of the side without the dumbbell.

Movement Instructions

Lower the upper body by bending at the hip keeping just a slight bend in the knee while keeping back straight (low back flexed) and lowering the dumbbell in front of the thigh and knee. Lower until there is a slight stretch in the hamstring without rounding the low back, then raise the upper body back to straight by flexing the muscles in the back (glutes, hamstring and low back). Repeat then switch legs and repeat exercise.

Comments

Keep low back flexed throughout the exercise, focusing on bending at the hip and using the rear muscles.
