Technique[edit | edit source]
Many beginners use a dowel rod held on the back for cuing.
- Stand with the feet shoulder width apart.
- Hold the dowel rod in the center of the spine, from the head to the tailbone (Sacrum).
- Contract the core muscle and keep the spine in a neutral position
- Bend at the hips while maintain the position of the spine. The dowel gives cuing so the lumbar spine does not round.
- Once reaching the desired end range, return to the start position
