Exercise tips and tricks

Proper Warm-Up: Ensure you warm up your hamstrings and lower back adequately before diving into Good Mornings to prevent any strain or injury.
Engage the Core: Always keep your core muscles engaged. This helps stabilize your spine and reduces the risk of lower back injury.
Start with Light Weights: Begin with a lighter weight to master the form before adding more weight. It's crucial to prioritize proper form over lifting heavier weights.
Foot Position: Keep your feet shoulder-width apart. This offers better balance and stability throughout the movement.
Neutral Spine: Maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise. Avoid rounding your back to prevent undue stress on your spinal discs.
Hip Hinge: Focus on hinging at the hips rather than bending at the waist. This targets the correct muscles, primarily the hamstrings and lower back.
Range of Motion: Only lower your torso as far as your flexibility allows while keeping your back straight. Going too low can lead to form breakdown and injury.
Controlled Movements: Avoid jerky motions. Execute the exercise slowly and with control to maximize muscle engagement and minimize risks.
Breathe Properly: Inhale deeply as you lower your torso and exhale as you return to the starting position to maintain stability and rhythm.
Spotter or Mirror: If possible, use a mirror or have a spotter to ensure your form remains correct throughout the exercise. This external feedback can help correct any minor errors before they become habits.
Regular Form Checks: Periodically review your form and technique to ensure you are not developing bad habits. Consistent check-ups can help maintain efficiency and safety.
