GHD Hyperextension
Set up on the GHD machine with your feet secured in the foot plate and your hips positioned just past the edge of the pad. Cross your arms over your chest or place your hands behind your head. Lower your upper body toward the floor by hinging at the hips while maintaining a neutral spine. Drive back up by squeezing your glutes and lower back until your body forms a straight line. Control the descent and avoid using momentum or rounding your back.
