Lower back extension on floor.

It requires you to face the floor with your thighs on the pad letting your spine extend upward. It s the perfect complement to crunches to develop a strong balanced midsection. Then activate your back muscles all the way along the length of your spine to lift your shoulders head and chest up away from the floor and hold this top position for. Use caution if you have a lower back problem or experience lower back pain while performing this exercise.

It s also convenient to do since you don t have to lie on the floor. Keep your lower back pressed to the floor and hold for 15 to 30 seconds. Performing this exercise on a regular basis may help reduce lower back pain. Keep your feet on the floor and engage your glutes and core to support your lower back.

A back extension bench often called a back extension machine uses gravity as resistance. Hold a moment and slowly lower your body downward. Start by lying on the floor with your face down and your hands by your head elbows wide. The back extension exercise both stretches and strengthens your lower back.

Use caution if you have a history of back problems or if your lower back is bothering you right now. If you do feel pain try lifting only your legs and leaving your arms flat on. Do this 2 to 4 times for each leg. Then lower your knee and repeat with the other leg.

You can also perform the lying back extension by raising your legs off the floor simultaneously with your chest and arms for additional lower back stimulation as well as lower body involvement. So by performing back extensions the pressure of this exercise may force the disc forward away from the nerves and soft tissue. The vast majority of disc injuries result in bulging of the disc towards the back.
