strengthening the lower back. But due to its compound nature, it also
involves various other muscle groups, such as quads, hamstrings and
abdominals. Performed in an erect posture, the person has to grasp a
weight kept on the floor without bending the back and looking

arms should not be used to lift the weight. This weight training waist
exercise is not appropriate for beginners.
