Bodybuilding Equipment

Those who lift weights are likely to be familiar with this
exercise and its benefits. Besides strengthening and helping to
maintain your back in good working order, reverse back extension
will make your back feel really good.

Because there’s no need to strap or support your legs, you don’t
need any special gym equipment to do it, like you need in
regular back extensions. You only need some kind of elevated
surface to lie on your stomach, which allows your legs to hang
free, or nearly free. With a little imagination, a place like
that can be improvised in almost every environment.

While the exercise itself is about as safe as exercise can ever
be, the setup for it can be dangerous. Make sure the platform
where you do it is stable and can handle your weight, and
doesn’t accidentally collapse underneath you. Always when in
doubt, find sturdier place.

The actual performance of the exercise is simple. After you have
positioned yourself properly, arch your back and lift your legs
slowly parallel to your body, then lower.

Here is a very good and complete description with pictures.

scroll down a little to find the reverse hyperextension.)

Like in all exercises, there are no absolute rights or wrongs.
You must find the groove that feels good and doesn’t hurt.

Do it for few sets every other day or so, add some trigger point
massage to the mixture, and be prepared to say “you’re welcome”
when your lower back thanks you for it
