Good morning

VeryWellFit: "The good morning exercise works the hamstrings, back, glutes, and abs." [ID: good_morning]

Instructions

First time: Try 1 set, 10 reps, with no weight to start

This is a simple, effective exercise. Go:

1. Start position: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart; brace your core
2. Hinge at the hips, sending the hips backward and upper body forward
3. Stop once your upper body is nearly parallel with the floor
4. Un-bend back up to return to the start position

Details

Progression: Add (light) weight to your Good morning with dumbbells or a barbell.
