How to do the Good Morning

  1. 1

    Begin with a bar on a rack at shoulder height. Rack the bar across the rear of your shoulders as you would a power squat, not on top of your shoulders. Keep your back tight, shoulder blades pinched together, and your knees slightly bent. Step back from the rack.

  2. 2

    Begin by bending at the hips, moving them back as you bend over to near parallel. Keep your back arched and your cervical spine in proper alignment.

  3. 3

    Reverse the motion by extending through the hips with your glutes and hamstrings. Continue until you have returned to the starting position.
