Bands Straight Leg Deadlift

Instructions

  • Stand with feet shoulder width apart, stepping on the rubber band with both feet. You will have to cross the bands under your feet to get proper tension.
  • Keeping your legs and back straight, and sticking your buttocks out, bend at the hips and reach down until you feel a stretch in the hamstring muscles.
  • Slowly return to starting position, contracting the hamstrings.

Tips

  • You may also do this exercise with a slight bend in the knees.
