How to do a good morning

Setup:

1. Stance: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and toes slightly pointing outwards.
2. Hand Placement: Place your hands on either side of your head with fingers interlaced behind. Alternatively, cross your arms in front of your chest.
3. Proud Chest: Keep your chest lifted and core engaged.

The Lift:

1. Initiate the Hinge: Maintaining a neutral spine, slowly hinge forward at your hips. Keep your back straight and core engaged throughout.
2. Feel the stretch: Focus on feeling a stretch in your hamstrings as you descend. Go only as deep as you can comfortably.
3. Engage your posterior chain: Reverse the motion, focusing on using your glutes and hamstrings to return to the upright position. Squeeze your glutes at the top.
4. Reset: Return to the starting position, then repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips:

• Slight bend in the knees: Maintain a small bend in your knees throughout the exercise.
• Don't round your back: Your back should remain neutral throughout the entire movement.
• Breathe: Exhale as you hinge forward and inhale as you return back up.
