Resistance Band Floor Hyperextension

The floor superman with a loop band around the wrists and another around the ankles; pressing both pairs apart against the bands keeps the shoulders and hips working through the lift.

How to do it

Setup

Face down, arms reaching forward shoulder-width with a loop band around the wrists, another around the ankles, legs hip-width.

Steps

Press the wrists and ankles out against the bands.
Lift the chest, arms and legs off the floor together.
Lower everything slowly without letting the bands pull the limbs together.

Common mistakes

Bands going slack: keep pushing out, or the band adds nothing. Lifting the arms higher than the chest: the chest leads, the arms follow. Neck cranked up to see forward: eyes on the floor.

Breathing

Exhale on the lift, inhale lowering.
