Dumbbell Sitting Good Morning
Positioning:
1. Sit on the edge of a bench with your feet firmly planted on the ground about hip-width apart.
2. Hold a dumbbell in both hands to your chest or place it on your thighs for added resistance.
3. Keep your back straight and chest up, engaging your core muscles.
Movement Instructions:
1. Slowly hinge at your hips while keeping your back straight, pushing your hips back and allowing your upper body to lean forward.
2. Lower your torso until it's almost parallel to the floor, maintaining a slight bend in your knees.
3. Pause at the bottom for a moment, feeling the stretch in your hamstrings.
4. Return to the starting position by driving your hips forward and lifting your torso back to an upright position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to control the movement throughout.
Tips:
- Keep your head in a neutral position, looking forward rather than down.
- Focus on using your hips to initiate the movement rather than bending excessively at the waist.
- Start with a light weight or no weight to master the form before increasing resistance.
