Back Extensions

Back extensions target your lower back. Start out laying on your stomach with your legs straight back. Bend your elbows and with your palms down and place one hand on top of the other. Rest your chin on top of your hands. Using your lower back muscles lift your legs and upper body (including hands and arms) straight up off the ground as high as possible. Just use your hands to support your head and neck, do pull your head and neck up with your arms. Hold the up position for a couple seconds and then lower back down to complete a repetition. To include your obliques in the exercise, in the up position move horizontally to your left or right and then back to center. Lower back down to complete the repetition then when you raise up again shift to the opposite side horizontally.
