Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing thighs, arms straight. Stand with feet hip width, with a natural arch in your lower back. Engaging your abs, lower your hips back as you lower the dumbbells, keeping them close to your thighs and then shins, just until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings (shown).
Without rounding your back, return to start. Shrug the dumbbells up, then repeat.
