Hyperextension Low Instructions

  1. Adjust the Hyperextension machine to fit your body by setting the footplate and thigh pad at a comfortable position.
  2. Position yourself on the machine by placing your feet on the footplate and securing your thighs under the thigh pad.
  3. Place your hands behind your head or crossed over your chest, keeping your elbows out to the sides.
  4. Slowly lower your upper body forward, hinging at your hips, until your torso is parallel to the ground.
  5. Engage your lower back muscles and lift your upper body back up to the starting position, maintaining a controlled movement.

Hyperextension Low Tips

  1. Position yourself correctly on the Hyperextension low machine, with your feet securely locked in and your hips resting on the pad.
  2. Engage your lower back muscles by squeezing your glutes and tightening your core before starting the exercise.
  3. Keep your back straight throughout the movement, avoiding any rounding or arching that could strain your lower back.
  4. As you lower your upper body towards the floor, focus on using your lower back muscles to control the descent.
  5. Avoid using momentum to lift your body back up; instead, rely on your lower back strength to power the movement.
  6. Exhale as you lift your body back up, and inhale as you lower it down, maintaining a steady breathing rhythm.
  7. Start with a weight that challenges you but allows you to maintain proper form, gradually increasing the resistance as your lower back strength improves.
