How to do a dumbbell good morning

  1. Stand with your feet hip width apart, holding one dumbbell vertically against your upper chest.
  2. Brace your core and keep a soft bend in your knees.
  3. Hinge at the hips and push your glutes straight back as your torso tips forward.
  4. Lower until your torso is near parallel to the floor with a flat back.
  5. Drive your hips forward and return to standing.
  6. Squeeze your glutes at the top of each rep.

Form tips

  • Keep the dumbbell tight to your chest the whole set.
  • Lead the movement with your hips, not your shoulders.
  • Stop the descent if your lower back starts to round.
