you could lay on a coffee table or bed on your stomach and keep your upper half of your body hanging over the side and lift your upper body parallel with your lower half and then back down. Recommend someone hanging on to your feet just in case! :o)

I think this is a good work out plan, however, I will be doing these exercises at home not at a gym. Is there a different exercise available to simulate the benefit from the low back extensions done on a machine?
