Hamstrings, Lower Back
The reverse hyperextension exercise builds stronger glutes and hamstrings while improving hip mobility. It's perfect for fixing weak glutes and reducing lower back pain.
1. Lie face down on a reverse hyperextension machine or bench with your hips at the edge and legs hanging off 2. Grip the handles or sides of the bench firmly to keep your upper body stable throughout the movement 3. Keep your legs straight and lift them up behind you by squeezing your glutes until your legs are parallel to the floor 4. Hold the top position for one second while focusing on maximum glute contraction during the reverse hyperextension 5. Lower your legs back down slowly to the starting position and repeat for your desired number of reps
• Keep your core tight throughout the entire reverse hyperextension movement to protect your lower back • Focus on squeezing your glutes at the top rather than just lifting your legs up high • Don't swing or use momentum - control the movement up and down for better muscle activation • Keep your legs straight but not locked out during the reverse hyperextension exercise
• Lifting your legs too high and arching your back excessively during the reverse hyperextension movement • Using momentum to swing your legs up instead of controlled glute contractions • Letting your legs drop too fast on the way down instead of controlling the reverse hyperextension descent
