How To Do A Dumbbell Kickback

Starting Position: Place one knee and one hand on a bench. Keep your lower back in a neutral position– not too arched and not too rounded.

Bring your shoulder next to your body. Pull back your upper arm so that it is next to (parallel) your body.

Form: Exhale and straighten your arm alongside your body. Hold for a brief second at the top and then slowly lower to the starting position.

Tips: Be mindful of the position of your lower back. Don’t let your lower back round too far forwards. Use your lower back muscles to keep your spine and pelvis in a neutral position.

In regards to the upper body, do your best to keep your upper arm at your side throughout the entire exercise.
