How to do it

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs with arms fully extended. 2. Keeping your legs as straight as possible (with a slight bend in the knees), hinge at your hips to lower the dumbbells towards your feet. 3. Pause at the bottom, feeling a deep stretch in your hamstrings. 4. Squeeze your glutes and drive your hips forward to raise your torso back to the upright starting position.
