Exercise Instructions
- The hyperextension is a good exercise for strengthening the lower back. Set up on a hyperextension machine.
- Bending at the waist only and keeping your back straight, slowly lower your upper body down until it's around 90 degrees to the floor.
- Raise upper body back to starting position.
- Repeat for desired reps.
Exercise Tips:
- Do this exercise slowly! Slow and controlled movements will get the best results.
- You can make this exercise more challenging by holding a weight plate against your chest.

How do you do this if you do not have the hyperextension machine? I an incline bench and an independent chest press. Can it be done on an exercise ball?

Yes can easily substiture an exercise ball for the hyperextension machine. Be care full not to over hyperextend.

I really like your videos. I wish you would also show a reverse hyper extension however. My work out routine i get from you guys have it on there but no video to describe what to actually do.

Wouldn't that be Roman chair seat up ? Or incline seat up?

I'm pretty sure with reverse hypers you just turn around on the hyperextension stand and instead of raising your upper torso, you raise and lower your lower torso (i.e. your legs).
