Back Extension

The back extension strengthens the lower back and can be done with a weight held to the chest.

Muscles Worked

The main muscles involved in the back extension are:

• Lower back

Other muscles involved are:

• Butt
• Hips
• Thighs

Back Extension Technique

• Front thighs resting on pads
• Lower legs or feet secured
• Bending at hips, lower torso until comfortbly stretched
• Raise up so torso and legs are parallel

Back Extension Notes

• Stay smooth, do not jerk or bounce.
• If desired, add weight (hold to chest) as back strength increases. Use discretion.
• Remember to breathe. Whether you breathe in or out at a certain point is less important than making sure you are actually breathing during the exercise.
