| Begin holding dumbbells at your thighs with your arms hanging straight. Your knees should be slightly bent. While keeping your back flat, your chest up, and your shoulders back, bend forward at the waist. Don't let your back round as you lean forward from your hips. Keep your head up. Lower the dumbbells until they reach the middle of your shins. If you have poor hamstring flexibility you might not be able to get this deep. In this case go only as deep as you can and maintain good lower back posture, arched not rounded. |
