Core & Other Posterior Chain Movements: Back Extensions

Instructions

Begin by setting up on the machine so that the pelvic bone is over the front of the pad and feet are locked into place. Start in the fully extended position, initiate movement by releasing tension in the glutes and hamstrings while maintaining a flat back. Once a full stretch of the glute and hamstring occurs, return to the original position by contracting the glutes and hamstrings. Common Error is lowering the body by flexing and extending the lower back.
