Hyperextension
Expert Advice
Avoid hyperextending your back at the top of the movement. Rise to a point where your body is in a straight line from head to feet.
How-to-do Steps
- Position yourself face down on a hyperextension bench, with your ankles secured under the footpads.
- Cross your arms over your chest or place your hands behind your head.
- Bend at the waist to lower your upper body towards the floor, keeping your back straight.
- Raise your torso until your body forms a straight line, then slowly lower back to the starting position.
