This exercise mainly strengthens your lower back, glutes, and hamstrings. It helps boost core stability by focusing on minimizing lumbar movement.
1. Lie face down on the reverse hyper machine, positioning your lower body to extend outside the machine.
2. Secure the straps around your ankles for support and lay your upper body comfortably on the machine.
3. Grasp the handles of the machine with both hands to stabilize your body.
1. Engage your core and slowly lift your legs.
2. Use the strength of your glutes and hamstrings to lift your legs until they are parallel to the floor.
3. Pause for a moment and then slowly lower your legs back to the starting position.
4. Repeat.
Exhale when you lift your legs and inhale when you lower them. Maintain natural breathing and proceed in rhythm.
1. Please be careful not to put excessive strain on your back.
2. Do not raise your legs too high or move too quickly.
3. Securely stabilize your body on the equipment to exercise safely.
