How to do it
Drive your hips forward and squeeze your glutes hard at the top.
- 1
Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a bottle or similar weighted object in front of you.
- 2
Hinge at the hips and bend your knees slightly as you lower the bottle towards the ground.
- 3
Keep the bottle close to your body throughout the movement.
- 4
Engage your glutes and hamstrings to return to the starting position.
- 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Keep the natural arch in your lower back and hinge at the hips rather than rounding your spine to prevent injury.
Common mistakes
