Hyperextension for the back of the thigh is an exercise that works the gluteus maximus and the back of the thigh, but also the lower back. In this version, the focus is on the gluteus maximus and the back of the thigh.
Adjust the hip pad so that it is just below your hips and press your heels against the heel pad. Point your toes slightly outwards. Hips are extended and arms are crossed in front of your body. Keep your back straight.
3
Go down with your upper body by bending your hips. Keep going down until you feel a stretch in the back of your thigh. Breathe in as you do this.
4
Move your upper body back up until your hips are stretched and you are back in the starting position. Breathe out as you do so.
5
One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Keep your spine in the same position throughout the exercise. In this exercise, the spine is NOT curled and stretched. The movement only consists of flexing and extending your hips. Your back remains straight.
TIP: If it gets too easy, you can hold a weight in front of your chest.
