  2. Shift your weight onto one leg, keeping the other leg slightly off the ground behind you.
  3. Hinge at the hips, lowering your torso to a parallel position while maintaining a neutral spine.
  4. Return to the starting position by engaging the glutes and hamstrings.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of reps before switching legs.
