Control of your spine is of paramount importance in exercise.

Not only do we want you to know when to keep it locked and aligned, but you should have control of each segment of your spine as well.

The hip extension is a hinge, the back extension is a bend, and the hip/back extension is both- articulating at each part of your spine on the way and on the way down.
