SIDE BEND ON HYPEREXTENSION


SIDE BEND ON HYPEREXTENSION
STARTING POSITION


Asymmetrical exercise, place your hip on the hyperextension machine, the feet are fastened under the rollers, the hands are behind the nape and the hip slightly out or on the edge of the pad. Imagine a straight axis among the shoulder, the hip and theankle in order to be in the right position.
MOVEMENT
Bend the torsothinking to bring the elbow towards the hip and then turn back to the starting position.
GOAL
The exercise involves the side muscles of the torso (transversus abdominis and oblique abs).
BREATHING
Breathe in when the torso is aligned with the ankles (starting position), breathe out during the motion.
TIPS
The exercise isn’t fit to beginners for this reason, it’s better the variation performed on the ground.
MISTAKES
It’s very important not to rotate the shoulders both backwards and forwards during the motion, do not bring the torso downwards (towards the opposite side of the involved one) during the return phase.
