The Standing Goodmorning / Squat Combination

This movement works your flexibility in the hips, ankles, etc. Of course it works the lower back as well as the legs b/c of the combination.

You begin this exercise by unracking a barbell the same as you would a squat. Set up so your feet so they are shoulder width apart or slight wider. Get into a tight position (arched back, shoulder blades pulled together, knees slightly bent, abdominal pushed out against your belt). This is the starting position. Slowly bend forward at the waist (rotating your hips) until your torso is parallel with the floor. Then squat down hams to calves and then repeat the process to get back into the starting position. From the floor in the bottom of the squat, straighten your legs back to the bottom position of a standing good morning. From here raise your body by rotating your hips back to being completely upright.

That is 1 rep, now get your ass going and knock out 7 more reps.
