Key Points:

1) Stand upright with the feet approximately hip width apart.

2) Begin the movement by hinging at the hips and slightly bending the knees to grab the handles.

3) Actively pull the shoulders back to engage the lats; and brace the core.

4) While maintaining a flat back, push the feet into the ground to lift the bar. Focus on the hamstring muscle doing all of the work (think deadlift).

5) Stop at the end range, when the shoulders are directly over the hips.

6) While maintaining a good posture, walk forward until reaching the end of a desired distance.

7) Turn around and return to the starting area.

8) Return the weight to the ground by hinging at the hips (think deadlift).

9) This is not a jog or fast walk. Be sure to control the weight as you walk.
