How to: Band hyperextension
- Attach a resistance band to a stable anchor at ground level.
- Stand facing away from the anchor with the band around your waist.
- Bend at the hips while keeping your back straight, allowing your upper body to lower towards the ground.
- Engage your glutes and back muscles to lift your upper body back to starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Arching the back excessively during the lift.
- Using too much momentum instead of controlled movement.
- Neglecting to keep the head in a neutral position.
Modifications
- Use a lighter band for reduced resistance.
- Perform the exercise on a softer surface to reduce impact.
Tips
- Keep your back straight throughout the movement.
- Engage your core to support your back.
- Control the band tension to avoid injury.
