How to Perform

  1. 1

    Secure a resistance band to a sturdy anchor point behind you and loop the other end around your waist or chest.

  2. 2

    Kneel on a padded surface with feet secured under a stable object or held by a partner.

  3. 3

    Keep body straight from head to knees, engage core and glutes.

  4. 4

    Slowly lower torso towards the ground by extending at the knees, resisting with hamstrings. The band assists the upward (concentric) phase.

  5. 5

    Control the descent as much as possible.

  6. 6

    Use hamstrings, assisted by the band, to pull yourself back to the starting position.

  7. 7

    Repeat for desired repetitions.
