How to do it
Execution:
  1. 1
    Hold the dumbbells in front of your thighs, feet hip-width apart and knees slightly bent.
  2. 2
    Hinge at the hips, pushing them back to lower the torso while keeping a neutral spine and the dumbbells close to your legs.
  3. 3
    Lower until you feel a stretch in the hamstrings.
  4. 4
    Return by squeezing your glutes and driving the hips forward.
Tip: the knees keep the same slight bend throughout — the movement comes from the hips, not the knees.
