Band Good Morning
Using a 41 inch band, stand on one end, spreading your feet a small amount. Bend at the hips to loop the end of the band behind your neck. This will be your starting position.
Keeping your legs straight, extend through the hips to come to a near vertical position.
Ensure that you do not round your back as you go down back to the starting position.
Lunge Pass Through
Stand with your torso upright holding a kettlebell in your right hand. This will be your starting position.
Step forward with your left foot and lower your upper body down by flexing the hip and the knee, keeping the torso upright. Lower your back knee until it nearly touches the ground.
As you lunge, pass the kettlebell under your front leg to your opposite hand.
Pressing through the heel of your foot, return to the starting position.
Repeat the movement for the recommended amount of repetitions, alternating legs.
Verdict
Both exercises target the hamstrings. Band Good Morning is a beginner exercise using bands, while Lunge Pass Through is intermediate and uses kettlebells. Choose Band Good Morning if you're looking for a more accessible option, or Lunge Pass Through for a greater challenge.
