The back extension machine builds lower back strength and helps fix poor posture. It's perfect for desk workers who need to strengthen their spine.
1. Set the pad so it sits across your upper thighs when you lie face down on the back extension machine. 2. Cross your arms over your chest or place hands behind your head, keeping your core tight. 3. Lower your upper body slowly until you feel a stretch in your lower back on the back extension machine. 4. Squeeze your glutes and lift your torso back up to the starting position in a smooth motion. 5. Keep your head in line with your spine throughout the entire movement.
• Keep your movements slow and controlled on the back extension machine - no bouncing or jerking motions. • Don't arch too far back at the top - your body should form a straight line from head to heels. • Squeeze your glutes at the top of each rep when using the back extension machine for maximum muscle activation. • Start with just your bodyweight before adding any extra weight to master the form first.
• Going too fast and using momentum instead of muscle control on the back extension machine ruins the exercise. • Hyperextending your back at the top puts dangerous stress on your spine and can cause injury. • Placing the pad too high or low changes the movement and reduces how well the back extension machine works.
