Seated Good Morning - Dumbbell
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
HOW: Begin in a seated position at the edge of the chair with a dumbbell in each hand. Spread your feet so that the dumbbells stay in between your legs. From here, hinge at the hips bringing the dumbbells down towards the ground. Push through your legs to maintain tension as you bring the dumbbells towards the ground. Once you reach the ground, push through the feet again and return to the upright seated position. Perform for the given number of reps.
- FEEL: You will feel the muscles of your low back working as well as your shoulder muscles as they stabilize while performing this movement.
- COMPENSATION: Maintain a strong shoulder blade position to allow the motion to come from the hips with this exercise.
