EXERCISE INSTRUCTION
- The top of the roller should be at hip level. Straighten your lower back with your torso level just above the level of your legs.
- Statically tense the extensors of the spine and gluteal muscles.
- The back should be completely straight, the gaze is directed in front of you, the arms are crossed over the chest. We rest our heels tightly on the platform at the bottom of the simulator.
- Smoothly lower yourself down until you feel a stretch in the muscles of the lower back and hamstring while inhaling.
- The movement should be smooth and controlled, it is not necessary to sharply “fall” down.
- It is important to keep your back straight while respecting the natural curve of the spine in the lumbar spine. Don’t go too low.
- Without delay at the bottom point, straighten to the level of the starting position while exhaling. We linger for a moment at the top point and repeat the movement.
