Instructions

Place two dumbbells on the floor to the side of your feet. Have your feet approximately hip width apart. Bend at the hips and knees and pick up the dumbbells, having your arms hanging by your sides and dumbbells at a slight angle.

Slowly lower the dumbbells down the side of your legs bending at the hips, allowing your knees to slightly bend and keeping your back in a tight neutral position. Lower the dumbbells until you feel a slight stretch in your hamstrings - usually when the weight is halfway between your knees and your ankles - then drive your hips forwards and use your hamstrings and glutes to power back up to standing. Repeat for desired number of reps.
