No bench? No problem. This FitnessTracker version of the hyperextension only requires a flat bench and a training partner. It’s excellent for home users.
Instructions
- Lie face down on a flat bench with your hips just off the edge and your upper body hanging freely.
- Have a partner gently hold your legs down at the ankles or knees.
- Cross your arms or hold them behind your head.
- Slowly lower your torso toward the floor by bending at the waist, keeping your back flat.
- Raise your torso back up until your body is straight. Pause briefly, then repeat.
