How to Perform

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Slowly lower your torso towards the ground by extending only at the knees, resisting the movement with your hamstrings.

  4. 4

    Control the descent as long as possible.

  5. 5

    When you can no longer control the descent, gently catch yourself with your hands.

  6. 6

    Push back up to the starting position using your hands minimally, focusing on hamstring engagement.

  7. 7

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
