Sandbag Good Morning

How to do it

  1. Rest the sandbag across the back of the shoulders and stand with feet hip width apart.
  2. Brace the core and set a slight bend in the knees that you hold throughout the movement.
  3. Hinge forward at the hips, pushing them backward while keeping the spine neutral and chest lifted.
  4. Lower the torso until you feel a stretch through the hamstrings, stopping before the back rounds.
  5. Drive the hips forward to return to standing, squeezing the hamstrings and glutes at the top.
  6. Inhale on the way down and exhale on the way up for each repetition.
