Half Seated Good Morning

Exercise Overview

The half seated good morning exercise is used to introduce anti-flexion mechanisms into the lumbar spine. Start by sitting on a bench set up on an incline of 45 degrees. You’ll be sitting so that you are facing the inclined bench. Loop a light monster band around both of your feet and run it across your upper back. Maintain a neutral spine and hinge forwards at the hips until your torso touches the pad of the bench. Hinge backwards to neutral position to complete a repetition.
