• Begin by standing with your feet about hip-width apart and holding a barbell in the crook of your elbows, with your palms facing towards your body.
    Keeping your core engaged and your back straight, bend at the hips and lower your torso forward until it is nearly parallel to the ground.
    Push through your heels to extend your hips and raise your body back to the starting position.
  • Lay flat on a bench with a dumbbell between your feet.
    Flex your knees and raise the dumbbell until the soles of your shoes are pointed at the ceiling.
  • Start by standing on one leg with a dumbbell in one hand.
    Slowly bend at the hips and lower the dumbbell towards the ground while extending your free leg behind you.
    Keep your core engaged and your back straight as you lower the weight.
    Once the dumbbell is close to the ground, push through your heel to return to the starting position.
  • Start by standing on one leg with your feet shoulder-width apart and holding two dumbbells.
    From this starting position, hinge at the hips to lower the dumbbell towards the ground, keeping your back straight and your core engaged.
    Once you feel a stretch in your hamstring, slowly return to the starting position.
    Make sure to keep your standing leg slightly bent and avoid rounding your back as you lower the dumbbell.
