Form tips
A common mistake in spine exercises is incorrect posture. Always maintain a neutral spine position, which means your back should be naturally arched, not overly curved or completely flat. This alignment keeps your spine safe and increases the effectiveness of the exercise.
When performing spine exercises, it's important to use the correct technique to ensure that you're targeting the right muscles and not straining your back. For example, if you're doing a back extension, make sure to lift with your back muscles, not your glutes or hamstrings.
Another common mistake is rushing through the movements.
