Preparation
The Hyperextensions work three main muscle groups: gluteus maximus, the hamstrings, and the lower back muscles. Set the machine pad near your lower belly area. Hold a barbell in both the hands and place it on your shoulders from behind your head
Method
Step 1
With your feet on the paddle support, inhale and hold your breath
Step 2
Slowly lower your torso down by bending forward with the weight
Step 3
Then, exhale and come back up to the starting position and make sure your upper body is in line with the lower body
Step 4
Avoid over arching your back as it can injure your erector spinae
Step 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
