How to: Resistance Band 45 degrees Hyperextension
- Attach the resistance band securely to a stationary object and position yourself so that the band is taut.
- Face the anchor point and hinge at the hips to lower your upper body towards the ground while keeping your back straight.

- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Arching the back excessively.

Tips
- Keep the core engaged throughout the movement to protect your lower back.
