Instructions:
- 1Position yourself on a hyperextension bench with your pelvis against the pad
- 2Your legs should be straight, and your body should form a 45-degree angle with the floor
- 3Cross your arms in front of your chest
- 4Bend at your waist while keeping your back straight until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings
- 5Return to the starting position by contracting your glutes and hamstrings
Tips:
- Keep your head in a neutral position to avoid neck strain
- Avoid rounding your back to reduce the risk of injury
- Exhale as you raise your body and inhale as you lower back to the start position
- Always keep the movement controlled, do not 'fling' yourself up during the exercise
