Lower Back Extension

Description

Lie face down on a table, positioning yourself so that your hips are in contact with the table and your abdomen is suspended in the air. Secure your legs with a strap or other device to stabilize yourself. Bend your upper body while keeping your back straight. Aim for the greatest possible range of motion with each repetition. Contract your glutes and abdominals and slowly return to the starting position. When coming back up, avoid hyperextending your back by rotating your pelvis backward (retroversion).
