GHD Hip Extension

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Set the GHD so the hips can hinge freely beyond the front of the pad and secure both feet.
2. 02Brace your trunk and begin with the torso aligned with the legs or slightly lowered.
3. 03Hinge at the hips to lower the torso while keeping the spine long and the knees softly unlocked.
4. 04Contract the glutes and hamstrings to extend the hips until the body returns to a straight line.
5. 05Stop at neutral rather than hyperextending the lower back, then descend smoothly into the next repetition.
