Technique

1. Stand with your hands lightly beside your head. Soften the knees and keep their angle nearly unchanged.
2. Send the hips backwards as the chest tips forwards. Stand tall again when you feel tension along the backs of your thighs.

Common mistakes

• If your knees keep bending and your hips drop straight down, shorten the hinge and reach backwards again.
