Hi I'm Courtney with Club Pilates Studios. I'm here today using the EXO Chair and working
the back body, it's so under worked. So we're going to do some back extension.
I have a medium to light spring tension on. I'm going to lie my hip bones just before
I get to the edge of the chair. And then I'm going to take the heels of my hands onto the
pedal and pushing it all the way down. Make sure that your shoulders are over your wrists
and your legs are active and engaged. I inhale to roll my shoulders up and lift my chest
and come into even extension throughout each vertebra, keeping my neck long. So it's an
inhale to lift up, be careful you don't kink your neck, and an exhale to go down.
On the next one, I'm only going to lift halfway. I'm going to adjust my hand position and take
my hand to my forehead. Single arm tricep extensions help to re-balance the body, but
I'm also using my back muscles to keep my form in shape. Adding on, I lift and reach.
Coming back to where I started, lift and reach, and coming back. If you feel this in your
low back, don't go quite so high, listen to your body.
Once you've finished, release the pedal, start to slide yourself back and then use the pedal
to help yourself come back up.
This is one of my favorite series and it feels so good. Thank you for watching the video,
