How to do it

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip.
  2. Keeping your back straight and your core engaged, hinge at the hips and lower the dumbbells towards the ground, allowing a slight bend in your knees.
  3. Lower the dumbbells until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, then squeeze your glutes and push through your heels to return to the starting position.
  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
