Resistance Band Reverse Hyper with Stability Ball on Flat Bench
The reverse hyperextension off a flat bench with a stability ball held between the feet and a band above the knees: the ball adds load, the band keeps the knees apart.
How to do it
Setup
Face down on a flat bench, hips at its end, a looped band above the knees, a stability ball squeezed between the feet.
Steps
- Grip the ball with the feet and lift it by raising the legs.
- Pause with the legs level with the bench.
- Lower the ball back toward the floor under control.
Common mistakes
Ball slipping out: squeeze it with the insides of the feet. Knees drifting together under the band: press them out. Lifting above the bench line: stop at level; the lower back should not arch.
Breathing
Exhale as the legs rise, inhale on the way down.
