"This deadlift exercise is fantastic as a full body exercise and works the entire kinetic chain," Bente Smart, an NASM-certified personal trainer and manager of CRUNCH Fitness in Burbank, CA, told POPSUGAR. "It's a great focus for glutes, hamstrings, and abs."
- Stand with both feet on a traditional resistance band, about hip-width apart, pulling the band tight. Hold one end in each hand by your sides, palms facing in toward each other.
- Keeping a soft bend in your knees, hinge forward at the hips and push your butt back as you fold your torso forward. Stop when your torso is just above parallel to the floor. (Depending on your hamstring flexibility, you may not be able to lower that far.)
- Drive your hips forward as you lift your torso back up, squeeze those glutes, crunch the abs, and return to the starting position.
- Perform eight to 10 reps for one complete circuit. Do the circuit three to four times.
