Bill from Beyond Fitness Online shows a weighted exercise that stabilizes your spine and improves balance. Start with a single-arm extension, add rotation, then do a two-arm reach. Keep your feet planted and extend as far as you can without pain.
Hi, I'm Bill from Beyond Fitness Online. Today I want to show you a great exercise that you can do with just a small weight that's good for stabilizing your spine, improving your balance, shoulder strength, and even helping to relieve lower back pain. So what we're going to do is we're going to take a small weight, we're going to take it in one hand, and you're just going to extend it out, trying to maintain stabilization through that spine. You're going to continue to do that for 5 to 10 reps. If you feel good there, we're going to switch to the other arm, add a little bit of rotation as you reach across. If you feel good there, we're going to take both arms and reach out that way. Now from there, if you feel good with that and there's no back pain, keep both feet on the ground. You're going to repeat all 3 of those, but reaching as far as you can to extend more movement through the spine. Give this a try. Let me know what you think in the comments below and follow me for more tips and tricks just like these.
