Loop a long resistance band round either side of the machine. Place your feet securely on the foot plate, with your upper thighs and lower hips on the support pad. Ensure you can bend at the waist freely. Reach down and place the resistance band behind your neck. Start with your body in a straight line head to toe and grip either side of the resistance band firmly. Slowly bend forward, you should feel a slight stretch in your hamstrings. Inhale as you do so. Keeping your shoulders and upper back rounded slightly, squeeze your glutes in order to return to the start position, exhaling as you do so. Do not arch your back or come up too far or you will engage your lower back and not your glutes.
