Good Morning (Band)

A compound hip hinge exercise that targets the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back using a resistance band positioned behind the neck.

Instructions

1. Stand on one end of a resistance band with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Loop the other end of the band behind your neck and hold it in place with your hands.
3. Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
4. Hinge at the hips by bending forward, keeping your legs relatively straight.
5. Lower your torso until it is nearly parallel to the ground.
6. Ensure you do not round your back during the descent.
7. Drive through your heels to return to the standing position.

Tips

• Keep your core engaged and your lower back neutral throughout the movement.
• The movement is primarily a hip hinge, not a squat.
• Move slowly and deliberately to maximize hamstring and glute engagement.
• This exercise improves posterior chain strength and hip mobility.
• Maintain constant tension on the band throughout the exercise.
