4. Exhale on the curl, inhale on the negative

CUES

MODIFICATIONS
One legged - say bye-bye-bye to those imbalances. Add in quarter reps, pulses, and holds for the ultimate life-altering experience.

Do glute bridges on the ground and squeeze from butt. 

Tilt pelvis towards belly button.

GOAL
Lower back health which is key to life, lifting, good sex, and getting old #ExtensionsForLifeExtension

DETAILS
1. Hinge at the hip and give everyone that million dollar view they don't deserve. 
2. Hang all the way down and initiate the movement by squeezing your glutes.
3. Squeeze your butt and hamstring and raise to be in line with your legs.
4. Hold for a second at the top and slowly lower all the way down. Repeat. 

Pro-Tip: If you walk into the gym and your back hurts, hang off the end of this and wiggle that spine #SideToSide. Hang at the bottom and warm up by just extending a few inches up then coming back down to a relaxed position. Do a set of 30 and feel those lower lumbar say "hayyyy gurrrrl."
