HOW TO DO HYPEREXTENSION
HYPEREXTENSION
Proper Form: Position your thighs on the pads of the Roman chair, ensuring your hips are free to flex. Keep your feet flat on the foot supports, maintain a neutral spine, and point your elbows out.
Execution: Flex at your hips, lowering your upper body toward the floor while keeping your back flat. Stop when your hamstring flexibility limits further movement.
Return: Contract your hamstrings, glutes, and spinal erectors to return to the start position. Avoid overextension to prevent back injury.
BENEFITS
Core and Lower Back Strengthening: Hyperextension exercises target the core, lower back, glutes, and hamstrings, promoting overall strength in these areas.
Posture Improvement: By extending the back muscles and reducing tension between the lower back and core, hyperextension movements enhance posture, aiding in maintaining an upright position throughout the day.
Lower Back Health: Strengthening the lower back, glutes, and hamstrings with hyperextension exercises can alleviate lower back pain caused by weak glutes and tight hamstrings, contributing to overall lower back health.
