Technique
How to perform it
- Kneel on a pad and anchor your heels under a sturdy support, or have a partner hold your ankles.
- Keep a straight line from your knees to your head, hips extended and core braced.
- Slowly lean forward, resisting the fall with your hamstrings for as long as you can.
- Catch yourself with your hands when you can no longer control the descent.
- Push lightly off the floor and pull with your hamstrings to return to the start.
- Use a band or a shorter range of motion to make it easier.
