Single-Leg Barbell Good Morning exercise improves hip stability and strengthens the hamstrings and glutes.

Step 1
Place the barbell on your upper back and pull it down while squeezing your shoulder blades for stability. Stand tall on one leg with your knee slightly bent. Push your chest forward, hips back, and lean forward.
Step 2
Lower your torso towards the floor, and your back leg follows you to help with balance. Just go as low as you can without rounding your lower back.
Step 3
Pause, and then reverse the movement, returning to the starting position. Squeeze your butt at the top.

Single-Leg Barbell Good Morning targets Glutes, Hamstrings, Spinal Erectors as seen below.

Place the barbell on your upper back instead of directly on your neck for a more comfortable position.
Keep your back straight during the exercise to avoid injury.
Try not to move by bending your knee. Instead, focus on flexing your hips and shifting your weight back as you move.
