Step by step

1. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing in, feet hip-width apart.
2. Push your hips back and lean forward with a flat back until your chest faces the floor.
3. Pull the dumbbells up to your lower ribs, elbows close to your body.
4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together, then lower slowly.

Tip: Lead with your elbows and keep your neck long, eyes on the floor a little ahead.

Go easy: Flat back and soft knees; row one arm at a time with a hand on a bench if your lower back tires.
