Low Back Extension (Band)

A lower back isolation exercise using band resistance to target the erector spinae and lower back extensor muscles.

Instructions

1. Secure a resistance band at approximately waist height behind you.
2. Face away from the anchor point and loop the band around your waist.
3. Stand upright with a slight knee bend, feet hip-width apart.
4. Maintaining a slight forward lean, keep this position as your starting position.
5. Extend backward against the band resistance by engaging your lower back and glutes.
6. Return to the slightly forward lean position with control and repeat.

Tips

• This is a small range of motion exercise; avoid excessive backward extension.
• Keep your core engaged throughout to support your lower back.
• The movement should originate from your lower back and hips, not from swinging.
• Maintain constant tension in the band throughout the entire range of motion.
• This exercise is excellent for lower back health and injury prevention.
• Perform 12-15 reps per set for optimal lower back strength and endurance.
