Stability Ball Exercise Demo: Back Extension at the Wall

Coach Nicole of SparkPeople.com demonstrates how to do back extensions on a stability ball. This is a great core exercise to target the lower back muscles (erector spinae). Using a ball for increases the challenge and intensity and helps you get more out of this strength exercise, which may help reduce back pain over time.

A good demonstration and, without being crude, how can I do this exercise without discomfort in the groin area? I have tried several times but my penis chafes against the ball.

I don't know about that myself! Maybe ask a male trainer. :-)

Gosh that takes some strength to talk and do that! I was panting away after 6!

good demonstration, this is a very good way to do back extensions, even if you have a herniated disc like me, there's not really any flexion involved

you are super cute too

Great exercise! I have been having issues with my back and can't get to my chiropractor, this adds to my therapy routine and feels good to my back.
