Align your upper thighs or hips with the larger pad, allowing your torso to bend forward from the waist and hang down.
Keeping your back straight, cross your arms over your chest or place your hands behind your head.
Slowly lift your torso until your body is in a straight line, using your lower back muscles to perform the movement.
Lower your body back down to the starting position, ensuring you don't bend too far forward, and repeat the movement for your desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movement**: It's important to avoid fast, jerky movements when performing hyperextensions. You should lower your upper body towards the floor slowly and in a controlled manner, then raise your torso back up to the starting position. Fast or uncontrolled movements can put unnecessary strain on your back and lead to injury. **Maintain a Neutral Spine**: Throughout the exercise, keep your spine in a neutral position. This means you should avoid rounding or excessively arching your back. A common mistake is to hyperextend the back at the top of the movement, which can
