Don't worry, this exercise isn't nearly as scary as it sounds. Think of this exercise as the move that gives you a drop-dead rear end. The deadlift is another great full-body move like the squat, except it focuses more on your backside (from your hamstrings and glutes all the way to your upper back).
Konforti's Trainer Tip: "Positioning on the deadlift makes all the difference of feeling your butt vs. your back. It's important to hinge at the hips instead of squatting. To do a proper hinge, your knees should only bend slightly, your hips should extend straight back, and your torso should come to a 45-degree angle or lower. Basically, your knees and shoulders should form a sideways V shape. Keep the tension on the glutes by driving through the heels and contracting the glutes throughout so the power comes from the hips and not the back."
