This is a great way to warm up your hamstrings. For an added challenge, grab two dumbbells and rest them on the backs of your shoulders behind your head.
Step 1: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and place your hands behind your head with your elbows open wide.
Step 2: Keeping your knees slightly bent, hinge forward at the hips until your chest is almost parallel to the floor. Press your hips back while keeping your spine neutral and abs engaged.
Step 3: Squeeze your hamstrings and glutes to push your hips forward and rise up, returning to the starting position. This is one rep.

ROMANIAN DEADLIFTS
Step 1: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding one dumbbell in each hand. Position the dumbbells in front of your thighs, palms facing your body.
Step 2: Keeping your knees slightly bent, press your hips back as you hinge forward at the waist, and lower the weights to about mid-shin height.
Step 3: Squeeze your hamstrings and glutes to push your hips forward and rise up, returning to the starting position. This is one rep.

Kettlebell Swing
How to: Start in a hinge (hips back, knees slightly bent, torso leaned forward at 45 degrees) holding the handle of a kettlebell with both hands, arms extended straight toward the floor and bell between knees on the floor. In one motion, squeeze glutes, straighten legs, lift torso, and thrust hips forward, while swinging the weight to chest height, keeping arms straight and core tight.
Reverse the movement, bringing the kettlebell between thighs this time when you hinge. That's one rep.
