http://www.konkura.com/ present ‘Gym Exercises: Strengthen Your Lower Back – Reverse Sit-ups (Intermediate)’. The Gym Exercise series demonstrates ways to build specific muscle groups with standard gym equipment. Whilst other muscle group are worked in these exercises the main muscle group put under tension is the point of focus.
The Reverse Sit-up (Intermediate) exercise involves lying horizontally with legs locked and waist freely suspended. In a controlled movement move your upper body towards the floor until at a right angle with your lower body. Hold for 3-5 seconds at the top and bottom on each rep. This is a superb exercise for strengthening the lower back and giving definition to your core area. Start by completing sets of 4-6 reps, progress on to 8-10 reps and once the art is mastered a good benchmark is sets of 12-14 reps.
Warning: Always warm-up prior to performing any of the exercises demonstrated, and conduct in a safe and correct manner.
