STABILITY BALL HYPEREXTENSION

When you don't have access to a hyperextension bench, this stability ball variation can come in handy. Remember on this exercise that the larger the ball, the larger the range of motion you can achieve.

  1. Lie on the belly on a stability ball. Position the legs straight in back with the toes touching the ground,and place the hands behind the head with the head down.
  2. Raise the upper body off the ball and slowly return. If you are a beginner, your range of motion may be smaller than if you are more advanced.
  3. To make this exercise more difficult, hold a weight plate behind the head.
