Standing Medicine Ball Trunk Flexion and Extension
How to Do
How to Do Standing Medicine Ball Trunk Flexion and Extension
Adequate total body flexibility will be required, specifically in the shoulder extensors, to ensure minimal compensation at the low back during the upward phase of the exercise.
Each exercise should begin with a good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop this exercise.
Beginning
