Now that you have had a chance to learn and practice your Back Power excersises for several weeks, we will repeat the Back Fitness Test to help you asses your progress. If you have made Back Power a routine part of each day, you should see some improvement in your test scores. You have probably already noticed a difference in how your back feels!

The first session of Back Power focused on the four main muscle groups that support the back - the stomach, back, sling and lateral muscles. These trunk muscles protect your spine, start and control movement and act as a support foundation for the rest of the body. It's important to remember that keeping these muscles balanced - strong yet flexible - reduces your risk of injury and that practicing your Back Power excersises can improve muscle balance.

In addition to the four main groups of trunk muscles, several other major muscle groups provide additional support and stability to the back. These are the shoulder, groin, hamstring, thigh and calf muscle groups. For ultimate Back Power, these muscles should be kept strong and flexible as well.

Course is 2.5 - 3.5 hours
