How to do a dumbbell good morning
- Stand with your feet hip width apart, holding one dumbbell vertically against your upper chest.
- Brace your core and keep a soft bend in your knees.
- Hinge at the hips and push your glutes straight back as your torso tips forward.
- Lower until your torso is near parallel to the floor with a flat back.
- Drive your hips forward and return to standing.
- 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.
