FLOOR HYPEREXTENSION

HOW TO DO FLOOR HYPEREXTENSION

HOW TO FLOOR HYPEREXTENSION

1. Lie face down with your legs together. Place your hands by the side of your head, keeping your shoulders relaxed and your core active. Inhale.

2. Exhale as you lift your upper body off the floor. Perform the movement slowly, engaging your core to control it. Avoid jerking your head or straining the muscles of your lower back or neck.

3. Inhale, briefly hold at the top of the movement while maintaining an active core, then slowly and gently lower yourself back to the starting position.

FLOOR HYPEREXTENSION BENEFITS

• Erector Spinae Strengthening: Floor hyperextensions target the erector spinae muscles, which support the spine. Strengthening these muscles can help prevent postural deviations like kyphosis and promote better posture and comfort.

• Posture Improvement: By extending the back muscles and reducing tension between the lower back and core, floor hyperextensions enhance posture, reducing the risk of poor posture-related discomfort.

• Enhanced Lower Back Strength: Strengthening the lower back through floor hyperextensions can contribute to overall lower back strength, making it easier to maintain an upright posture throughout the day.
