Active Lifestyle Muscles Worked
Back (lower) or Spinal Erectors
Position and Movement
Using a back-extension apparatus, anchor your feet in place. Slowly lower yourself down toward the ground to a point where you feel a comfortable stretch in your lower back. Continue to breathe at the bottom, then exhale as you move back up to the starting position.
Tip
You can hold a weight against your abdomen to add additional weight. Your back strength and flexibility will dictate how low you will go while performing the movement.
