Bodybow Back Extension Hand On Back Tips

  1. Position your bodybow on a comfortable surface, ensuring that it is stable and secure beneath you. Lie face down with your legs extended and your feet hip-width apart, toes pointing towards the floor.
  2. Place your hands gently on the back of your head, fingers interlaced, and elbows pointing outwards. This will help to support your neck and upper back during the exercise.
  3. Engage your core muscles by drawing your navel towards your spine. This will create a stable foundation for the movement and protect your lower back.
  4. As you inhale, press your hips into the bodybow and slowly lift your upper body off the ground. Keep your gaze forward, maintaining a neutral spine alignment, and avoid straining your neck by looking up or down.
  5. Exhale as you lower your upper body back down, maintaining control and focusing on engaging your lower back muscles throughout the movement. Remember to keep your core engaged and avoid any jerky or sudden movements.
