Bodybow Supported Back Extension Instructions

  1. Position yourself face down on the bodybow, with your hips resting on the curved part and your feet secured under the straps.
  2. Place your hands behind your head, elbows bent and pointing outwards.
  3. Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine.
  4. Keeping your neck in a neutral position, slowly lift your upper body off the bodybow by extending your spine.
  5. Continue lifting until your torso is in line with your legs, while maintaining a straight line from your head to your heels.
  6. Hold the extended position for a brief moment, focusing on contracting your lower back muscles.
  7. Lower your upper body back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.

Bodybow Supported Back Extension Tips

  1. Position yourself on the bodybow by lying face down with your hips resting on the curved portion of the bow and your feet secured under the foot pads. This ensures stability and allows for a full range of motion.
  2. Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button towards your spine. This not only protects your lower back but also helps to activate the deep muscles that support your spine during the exercise.
  3. Place your hands behind your head, keeping your elbows wide and your chin slightly tucked. This position helps to maintain proper alignment and prevents strain on your neck and shoulders.
  4. As you lift your upper body off the bodybow, focus on using your lower back muscles to initiate the movement. Imagine a string pulling your chest towards the ceiling, creating a gentle arch in your lower back. Avoid using momentum or relying on your arms to lift your body.
  5. Control the descent by slowly lowering your upper body back down to the starting position. Keep your lower back engaged throughout the entire movement, maintaining a smooth and controlled motion. Remember, quality over quantity is key when it comes to engaging your lower back effectively.
