Today I was introduced to some equipment used in the PNBC rehab center. We started off working with the Lumbar Extension machine. The lumbar extension machine is made to isolate your lower lumbar muscles by demobilizing the other larger muscles in your legs and hips. In comparison to a normal back extension machine...well no comparison this machine really makes you feel muscles in your back that you never thought you had.

Next we moved on to the Torso Rotation machine that again is made to isolate your core muscles by demobilizing your shoulders, hips, and legs. While in the cockpit of the machine you twist back and forth working your core back and abdomen muscles.
