How to do it

  1. Kneel on a pad with your knees about hip-width apart and the tops of your feet flat on the floor.
  2. Keep your body in a straight line from knees to head, with your hips extended and glutes squeezed.
  3. Lean back slowly by bending only at your knees, as far as you can control.
  4. Pull yourself back up to upright with your quads, without bending at the hips.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
