Position the apparatus so that the front pad is positioned just slightly below your pelvis. Let your upper body relax and comfortably lean forward towards the ground. Contract your lower back and slowly elevate your upper body until it is parallel to the ground. You can hold onto a light weight when performing this exercise if you would like some added resistance. Do not hyper-extend your lower back! Remember to exhale upon exertion. Don't hold your breath on this one or you will surely get dizzy!
