How to: Bodyweight Good Morning
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
- Hinge at the hips, pushing your hips back while keeping your back straight.
- Lower your torso until it is parallel to the ground, keeping your neck in line with your spine.
- Return to the standing position by engaging your hip and glute muscles.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Rounding the back instead of hinging at the hips.
- Overextending the hips which can lead to strain.
- Using momentum instead of controlled movement.
Modifications
- Perform the movement with a smaller range of motion if flexibility is limited.
- Try using a chair or bench to assist in maintaining balance.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.
- Ensure your back remains straight and avoid rounding.
- Focus on a smooth hinge at the hips rather than bending through the back.
