We are here to talk about our erector spinae. Now these are the muscles that are in our lower back area, along our spinal column here so this machine here is our back extension. Common back extension you will find in most health clubs. An adjustment is here to where we put our feet and we want to make sure that we sit comfortably all the way to the back of this seat here and also we want to make sure that this pad is right at the top of our upper back.
We draw in our abdominal muscles; there is a seatbelt back here. We use the seatbelt also just to make sure that we are buckled up for safety, tighten up.
Bring our arms right across our chest and we are going to breathe out every time we lean straight back. What we are trying to do is keep that spinal column in a neutral position as we lean back. We do not have to tilt our back when we concave our back muscles. Just keep it in a neutral position. Return to the start position keeping that abs tight keeping them drawn in; breathe out as you lean back. Return to the start position and just repeat the exercise. Your reference will be determined by what you are trying to accomplish for your specific goals.
