Start with your body in a straight line, face down, with your hands either crossed over your chest or behind your head.
Begin the exercise by bending at the waist while keeping your back straight, continue down as far as you can go without discomfort.
Once you've reached the lowest point, slowly raise your torso back to the original position, using your lower back muscles.
Repeat this movement for your desired amount of repetitions, making sure to keep your movements slow and controlled throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Avoid Overarching: A common mistake is to overarch the back at the top of the movement. This can put unnecessary stress on your spine and may lead to injuries. Instead, aim for a smooth, controlled movement where your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels at the top of the lift. Engage Your Core: Keep your abdominal muscles engaged throughout the exercise to support your lower back. This not only helps to protect your spine, but also ensures that the focus of the exercise remains on your lower back and hamstrings. Controlled Movements: Avoid rushing through the exercise or using momentum to lift your body. Instead, use slow, controlled movements
