TECHNIQUE: Bring Kettlebell behind your upper back, feet hip width apart while keeping weight in the heels, mid foot and active arches. Keeping your upper back tight and engaged, hinge back into the hips engaging your glutes, and hamstrings. Return to the starting position with chest up and driving your hips forward until full extension. ADVANTAGES: A great compound exercise for building core, glutes, hips, and shoulder strength. This movement can help people who suffer from poor core engagement and posterior chain muscles. FAULTS: Common faults include releasing core (low back flexion), chest rounded (limited thoracic extension) and knees travel forward (limited hip engagement.) SCALING: This exercise can scaled down by using a exercise band instead of a Kettle bell. The KB provides a superior good morning although it requires a great deal of thoracic engagement and shoulder external range of motion.
