Lying Dead Lifts
Attach a strong resistance band to a secure object at ground level, placing your feet either side of the band, firmly on the floor or ideally pushed against the secure object, keeping a slight bend in your legs throughout. Always check the band for any signs of wear or tear, and disregard if you find any, as this exercise will place the band under a lot of tension.

Commence the exercise with a straight back, sitting upright, holding the band handles at arms length with a strong comfortable hand grip, you may decide to place both handles together, and place both hands through the handles.
Keeping your arms straight lean slowly back, taking your back down to the floor, aiming to pull the band close to your legs and body throughout the movement.
Allow the resistance band to slowly pull you back up to the starting position, however aim to keep the tension on the band, by sitting far enough back, in order to maintain the contraction in your back muscles.
