Hyper Extensions: Platform, Body Weight

from Allen Elliott

Directions
Adjust foot & upper pads based on height. Lie face down on a hyper-extension bench, tucking your ankles securely under the footpads. With your body straight, cross your arms in front of you. Inhale and start bending forward slowly at the waist until you feel a nice stretch in your hamstrings without rounding out your back. Exhale and slowly raise your torso back to the starting position. Repeat this movement for all reps then dismount bench.
Helpful tips and Tricks
Keep your head up and your back, hips & chest in proper alignment. Breathe in on the way down. Breathe out on the way up.
