STRENGTH TRAINING
Reverse Hyper Extension
Once again we are on the lower back. Most people neglect their lower back and wonder why they have back problems. For athletes the lower back, gluts and hamstrings are one of the most important muscle groups to strengthen. Here is another exercise that we use. It is the Reverse Hyper Extension. Louie Simmons patented the machine and it is pretty costly but it works. We work ours with the big Physio Ball it also make you use your core as well.
Starting Position
The starting position is with you stomach on the ball facing down. The ball will be located near the waist line. You will place your hands flat on the ground slight wider than your shoulders, similar to a push up position.
Beginning
To begin you will squeeze your core and raise you legs at the same time while balancing on the physio ball. Your legs will be stiff and straight for the whole exercise.
Finish
To complete the exercise you will bring you feet back to the start position. You will perform this for several repetitions
