Working Out on Reverse Hypers can be Fun!

Reverse Hyper is one of the best strength training equipments for working on the lower part of the body such as glutes, hamstrings, and middle and lower back. It leads to dynamic strength development during the concentric period and acts as a rehabilitation mechanism during the eccentric phase. The exercise machine gently stretches and depressurizes the spinal area and creates a pumping mechanism. This, in turn, fills the lower back muscles with blood and the spinal column with a fluid.

Reverse Hyper also acts a rehabilitation device by releasing pressure and restoring circulation in the injured area. Thus, it can be used by anyone who has injured his/her back. All those who are looking forward for some therapeutic work can opt for this fitness machine for 3 or 4 times per week.

While the machine itself is a complete fitness equipment, you can add variety to it to make your weight training routines more fun. A simple way to spice up working out on the reverse hyper is to keep medicine balls or a sandbag between the ankles. We provide a step-to-step instruction of how to do this.

• Lie on the bench of the reverse hyper with the face pointing towards the ground.
• Grab the bench for supporting your arms and make sure that you are comfortable with the position.
• Remember that your feet must be above the ground and the legs should be kept straight.
• Once you are ready, try to raise the weight (the medicine ball or the sandbag, whatever you are using) by moving the hips as high as possible. Continue executing this step until the legs are nearly straight.
• Now slowly lower your legs to the original position and take rest. Again, repeat this exercise.

Working out on the reverse hypers will make your lower back tight and strong. Exercising on this fitness equipment with added weight makes it more challenging and brings freshness to the exercise routine.

Stay happy and enjoy!
