How to do it

  1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and place your hands behind your head, elbows out wide.
  2. Hinge forward at the hips, pushing them back as your torso lowers toward parallel with the floor, keeping your back long and flat the whole way down.
  3. Rise back up by driving the hips forward, not by pulling with your lower back.
  4. Also known as Good Mornings - the movement of someone bowing politely, done with far more purpose.
