Half Roll Back or the Grrumpy Spine

From a sitting position, curve the spine as you lower to a C position and then return. If this is uncomfortable on the spine keep the spine long as you move to a V position. If all else fails the hold the starting position, focusing on core engaged and spine long.

This exercise really challenges the core muscles whatever level you work at. Even holding the starting position you can feel the core muscles and working to keep the spine long and tall.

Try this exercise today and work your core.
