Method:
Lay on the back extension bench with your thighs on the pad and your heels below the roller. Make sure they’re in the right spot to keep you in position without a lot of movement.

Raise your upper body back up so that it’s in line with your lower body and hold there for a second.Why it’s good:
Exercising your lower back and rump will help you avoid injury, and keeping the stress off your knees helps that too.What to watch out for:
