Rolling Back
Muscle Worked
Erector spinae, Abdominals
Instructions
- Sit upright with your spine in neutral.
- Lengthen up through the spine and imagine your head floating up to the ceiling.
- Place your feet flat on the floor and your hands just below your knees.
- Don't overgrip; keep your elbows bent and your chest open. Take care not to tense or grip around your neck.
- Inhale as you tilt the pelvis and curve the spine into a C-shape to roll back, tucking in your chin and keeping your thigh close to your chest.
- As you exhale, use your abdominals to pull you back up to the starting position.
- Try not to use momentum, but make the movement flow at a consistent speed.
- Between each roll lengthen up through the spine.
- Repeat 6 times.
Checkpoints
- Keep the chin tucked into the chest
