45 Degree Back Extension

How to do it

1. 1

   Set the pad so it sits just below your hip bones, so you can bend freely at the hips.

2. 2

   Hook your heels under the foot pads and cross your arms over your chest.

3. 3

   Tighten your core. Keep your back straight.

4. 4

   Breathe in as you lower your upper body toward the floor until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings.

5. 5

   Breathe out as you lift back up until your body is in a straight line. Squeeze your glutes. Don't lift higher than straight.

Where you should feel it: Glutes and hamstrings.
