Reverse Hyperextensions are a safe, effective way to train the posterior chain — especially if you’re managing lower back strain. At FitnessTracker, we recommend this as a recovery-friendly strength movement for runners, lifters, and athletes.
Instructions
- Lie face-down on a reverse hyper machine with your hips at the edge of the pad.
- Secure your legs in the foot loops or between pads.
- Starting with your legs hanging down, raise them by extending your hips until your body forms a straight line.
- Avoid overextending the hips at the top.
- Lower your legs under control and repeat for reps.
