Hyperextension are part of a beginning set of back exercises focusing on lower back isolation. They can be done as part of a normal workout routine or by those who have suffered back injuries in the past. The machine is a type of incline allowing the user to lay at a 45 degree angle. By leaning forward, you feel a good stretch in your hamstrings, and the return motion to the starting position is a great strength building exercise without putting excess strain on the muscles of the lower back.
If needed, you can also include a weight held tightly to your upper body during the exercise for added resistance. It is important that you avoid rolling your back during the repetitions and stop if you feel any pain or spasm in the lower back.
