Prone push up with elbows extended ("Prone press up" Trunk extension passive; 02)

The prone press-up exercise promotes mobility of your lower back and counter-balances the effects of sitting and being in a forward flexed position for most of the day.
Start by lying on your stomach with your hands next to your shoulders.
Gently push yourself up with your arms and lift your head and chest upwards, keeping your hips and legs on the floor and hold this position for the required duration then relax.
Do not do this exercise if it hurts your back, or if you feel any pain going into your buttocks or your legs.
