But anywho, I typically do these with dumbbells at my sides but had cables at this gym!

Tips for this exercise:
🍑you want to think of “hinging at the hips”, or closing a door behind you with your butt. Not going down but rather BACK.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍑you also want to keep a straight flat back and a neutral neck (no craning). Keep shoulders DOWN/away from ears.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍑only go as far as you’re able to stretch before your back starts to curve, then work on stretching weekly to get more flexible and get a deeper stretch!

Save for your next gym date & tag a friend who is workin on that 🍑
These really help develop your hamstrings and glutes. Who’s gonna try these out? 🙋🏼‍♀️
