Smith Machine Good-Mornings

An easier version of a "good morning" exercise. Suitable for those who can't work with free weights.

Stand up straight with your feet shoulder width apart.

Hold a barbell placed on the back of your shoulders at the trapezoids level or slightly below it.

As you exhale, with your back straight, bend forward moving your hips back until your torso is horizontal to the floor.

You should bend only at the hip, never bend your spine.

Return to the starting position as you inhale.

Do not bend your lower back while bending down and up. Do not use heavy weight as it can cause injuries.

You can slightly bend knees as your feel comfortable.
