How to perform it

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip. Keeping your back straight and your core engaged, hinge at the hips and lower the dumbbells towards the ground, allowing your torso to lean forward. Continue lowering the dumbbells until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, keeping your knees slightly bent. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then engage your glutes and hamstrings to lift your torso back up to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
