Description

  • Straddling a chair, place a band around the chair and around your back.
  • Place your feet firmly on the ground and your back straight at all time.
  • With your hands on the back rest of the chair for balance, lean away from the chair (against the resistance).
  • Slowly return to the start position.

ProTip

  • The less you push yourself back with the arms, the greater the work from your trunk

Mistakes

  • Rounding the back
  • Over arching the back
  • Pushing too much with the arms instead of using the back
