Rebecca said you'll be hinging your hips backward, sweeping, and then lifting up into a "hip drive." You can do these one leg at a time or with both legs (as Rebecca also demonstrates here). The motion itself, she said, is similar to a deadlift. See directions for the single-leg hamstring sweeps below:
- Stand upright. Flex your right heel and place it on the ground in front of you with your right leg straight. Your left leg will be bent.
- In one single motion, fold your torso forward, bending at the hip joint, and sweep your hands downward toward your toes and around to your chest as you stand back up.
- Repeat on your left side and do these for 30 to 60 seconds. (Or, do double-leg hamstring sweeps for 30 to 60 seconds.)
