Instructions:

  • 1Adjust the pad of the lever machine to fit your height.
  • 2Lie face down on the machine with your hips and upper edge of your pelvis placed comfortably on the pad.
  • 3Hold onto the designated grips while keeping your body straight and only bending at your waist.
  • 4Lower your torso, bending at the waist until you are nearly vertical, then raise your body back to the starting position.
  • 5Repeat the movement while being mindful not to lift your body through the use of your back, but hinging at the waist.

Tips:

  • Ensure your body maintains a straight alignment throughout the movement.
  • Engage your core for better stability.
  • Don't rush the movement. Keep it slow and controlled.
  • Remember to breathe - exhale as you lift your body, inhale as you lower it.
