ATX® Hyperextension Machine 650

A 45 degree hyperextension mainly targets the spinal erectors, glutes and hamstrings, with the core working hard to keep the torso controlled through the movement.

You can do bodyweight hyperextensions every time you train once you become proficient at the is exercise. When you are starting out, it is best to give your body some time to recover.
If you are adding resistance, you will need to space your hyperextensions apart. The more intensely you perform this exercise the longer you will need to recover.

Hyperextensions are one of the best ways to strengthen the posterior chain for people of all experience levels. Hyperextensions are one of the safest ways to work the lower back, glutes and hamstrings. As you progress you can add resistance via weight (weight plate, dumbbell or barbell) or resistance band.
