Prone Back Extension Cues:
- Start exercise in a prone position (lying down on your stomach): legs outstretched, core engaged, and elbows bent with hands on your head.
- Squeeze your glutes as you lift your legs off the ground, and push your head and chest upwards.
- Return to start position in a controlled movement while maintaining a tight core for one rep. (May not be a recommended movement for some with chronic back issues)
Ideas for Exercise Uses:
- Perform as a warm-up exercise prior to a back workout.
- Add as a strength training exercise twice a week to strengthen your lower back.
- Use as a trunk extension exercise when working functional movements of the spine.
