Back Extensions

BACK EXTENSIONS:

 

Muscles worked:
	Lower Back
Instructions:
Position yourself in a back extension machine, ankles locked behind the pads, groin area and upper thighs resting on padded platform. The top of your hips should be over the edge of the platform, your back should be parallel to the floor. Fold your arms across your chest. Bend over at the waist, with your upper torso lowered to the point where it is just a few inches above being perpendicular to the floor. Raise up to the starting position and hold for a brief second. Lower yourself slowly and repeat.
Don'ts:
Don't just go through the motions swinging up and down. Move in a slow, controlled manner.
Alternate exercises:
Back Extensions (With Weight), Good Mornings (Advanced)
Note:
Once this exercise becomes too easy for your goal repetitions, try Back Extensions while holding a weight (Ex. #34).
