The Rider's Fitness Program: Incline Board Reverse Curl
|
This exercise provides some upper-body stability and challenges you to engage the abdominal muscles that are critical to an effective pelvic position in the saddle.
Equipment
Incline Board
How do I do this?
1. Lie on your back with your head at the higher end of the incline board.
2. Reach overhead with your hands and grasp the handle above you. Lift up your legs with knees bent and press your lower back into the board.
3. While bending your knees, pull your legs up toward your chest.
4. As your knees reach your waist, roll your pelvis back, further elevating your knees toward your chin.
5. Hold this position for 1 second, then slowly return to the starting position.
6. Perform seven to ten repetitions.
Hints
Perform this exercise in a smooth and controlled manner
Be sure to keep your back flat and straight
