A 200-characters-or-less explanation of the exercise.
Instructions
- Place your feet securely under a stable surface or with a partner holding them.

- Once your body is nearly parallel to the ground, pause briefly.
- Engage your hamstrings to lift your body back to the starting position.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
