The good morning exercise is an 'underrated' way to strengthen the core and glutes - here's how to do it

Woman checking fitness tracker watch, sat on floor at home in living room wearing workout clothes, after doing good morning exercise with weights.

The good morning exercise targets the glutes in the lengthened position, much like the deadlift. You have to stabilise your upper body and engage your core in the same way, too. So, if you're looking to add another glute exercise to your strength training routine, I'd always recommend this one.

I've been going to the gym for over six years, and in that time, I've tried a lot of different strength workouts. I've done quadricep exercises to build strength for running, Pilates classes to improve my mobility, and done more sets than I could ever count. But the good morning exercise has always been a staple for me, and it's a hugely underrated exercise.
