How to do it
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hinge forward at the hips until your torso is close to parallel with the floor, hands behind your head and elbows out wide.
- Keep your back long and flat, your knees slightly bent, and hold the position.
- Unlike the moving version, there's nowhere to hide here - your hamstrings, glutes and back have to hold the line for the full duration, and they will let you know about it.
