Exercise Description

Seated good mornings strengthen your hamstrings and glutes while being easier on your lower back than the standing version. Perfect for building posterior chain strength.

How To

1. Sit on a bench with feet flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart 2. Place hands behind your head or across your chest for the seated good mornings 3. Keep your back straight and core tight throughout the movement 4. Hinge forward at your hips, lowering your chest toward your thighs 5. Drive through your heels and squeeze your glutes to return to starting position

Form Tips

• Keep your chest up and shoulders back during seated good mornings to protect your spine • Focus on hinging at the hips, not rounding your back • Control the movement - don't bounce at the bottom • Start with bodyweight before adding resistance to master the seated good mornings form

Common Mistakes

• Rounding the back instead of hinging at the hips during seated good mornings • Moving too fast and losing control of the movement • Not engaging the core, which puts stress on the lower back during seated good mornings
