back extensions don’t get the hype they deserve, but for runners… they matter. A lot.
This move strengthens your posterior chain (glutes, hamstrings, low back), which is what keeps your posture tall and your stride efficient when fatigue sets in!!
How to do back extensions well:
• Set up with hips supported and spine neutral
• Ribs down, core engaged
• Hinge up slowly using your glutes (no swinging pls)
• Pause briefly at the top
• Lower with control
Why runners (you) should care:
• Supports better running posture
• Builds glute strength for stronger push-off
• Reduces low-back fatigue on long runs
• Helps keep knees and hips happy🤍
Add these 2–3x per week after easy runs or on strength days. Simple, effective, and worth the time.
Save this for your next strength session 🤍
