Exercise of the Week

Low Back Stabilization in Reverse Bridge Position with
Hamstring Curls

Difficulty: Moderate
(Consult your Chiropractor before starting this or any other exercise)
Start: Lie on back, lower legs rest on ball, knees straight. Hands can rest on hips with elbows touching floor. Press down into ball with legs, lifting hips until entire body is in a
straight position, feet to shoulders. Stabilize with stomach tucked in and hold.

Exercise: Roll ball toward buttocks using both feet. As ball comes closer to buttocks, hips should rise but not bend, keeping straight line between knees, hips and shoulders.

Curl legs to 90 degrees and hold for 2 counts. Return to start position; maintain a tight abdomen throughout.

Repeat 5-10 times.
