Hinge at your hips, pushing them back while maintaining a straight back, and slightly bend your knees as if you are bowing in a "good morning" greeting, hence the name of the exercise.
Lower your torso until it's parallel to the ground, or as far as you can comfortably go while maintaining your balance.
Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then drive your hips forward, straighten your knees, and return to the standing position.
Repeat the exercise for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the movement.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: Avoid rapid or jerky movements. The Good Morning Squat should be performed in a slow and controlled manner. This helps to engage the correct muscles and reduces the risk of injury. Core Engagement: Engage your core throughout the exercise. This helps to stabilize your body and maintain proper form. A common mistake is to relax the core, which can lead to back injury. Don't Overload: Start with a light weight and gradually increase as your strength and form improve. Overloading the barbell can lead to poor form and
