How to do it
- Set the pad just below the hip crease and hook the heels under the rollers.
- Cross the arms on your chest and hinge forward from the hips with a flat back.
- Lower until you feel the hamstrings load, then drive the hips into the pad to return.
- Stop level with the body — there is nothing to gain from arching past a straight line.
