HOW TO DO REVERSE HYPEREXTENSION

  1. Lie face down with your hips near the pad's edge, secure your feet in the pendulum strap, and grip the handles.
  2. Brace your trunk against the pad and begin with your legs hanging under control.
  3. Extend your hips to raise the pendulum until your legs approach the line of your torso, then lower smoothly without letting the weight pull you into an uncontrolled swing.
  4. Keep the motion at the hips rather than forcefully arching the lower back.
  5. Start with a small range and light load to learn the machine's momentum; claims that the exercise decompresses the spine are not established.
