Step-by-step
- Lie face down on a 45-degree bench so the top edge of the pad sits just below your hip crease.
- Secure your ankles against the rear pads and cross your arms over your chest.
- Keeping your back straight, slowly lower your torso forward from the hips.
- Squeeze your glutes to raise your torso until it is in line with your legs.
- Pause for 1 second at the top; lower again without overarching your lower back.
Coaching tip
Instead of overarching your lower back at the top, stop and squeeze your glutes when your torso forms a straight line with your legs.
Caution
Skip this move or ask a professional first if you have pain or an injury in: lower back. FitCi filters it out of your program automatically based on the injuries in your profile.
