Supported Dorsal Raise

Lay on the floor, with your hands either side of your shoulders, keeping your fingers facing forward with palms flat on the floor.

Slowly lift your body up, using the muscles of both your arms and lower back. As you become stronger with this exercise, aim to concentrate the lift with the muscles of your lower back, using your arm muscles as support.

Throughout the exercise, look down at the floor, and avoid raising your feet off the ground.
