Target the Thigh Jiggles

Reverse Hyperextension

What is its?

Lets face it, everyone have or had this problem. If you are a fitness competitor you probably have been marks down for this area or if you not, you just can seem to find enough courage to wear those short your been meaning to wear. I'm talking about the ham and gluteus tie-in (where the butt meets the thighs). Here's an amazing workout you should try next time to aim that problem area.

Muscles Emphasized: Low Back, Glutes, and Hamstrings

Technique:

Start

1. It is unfortunate that most gyms do not have a reverse hyperextension machine. If this is the case you can try to replicate the movement by using an elevated platform. Make sure it is stable.
2. Place the torso on the bench with the hips right at the edge so that the hips can rotate during the movement.
3. Legs should be kept straight.
4. Weight can be placed in between the ankles if using another apparatus.

Raising

1. Keep the legs almost completely straight.
2. Pull by squeezing the butt cheeks and pulling with the hamstrings.
3. Pull the lower body up till the legs are equal to the upper body.

Lowering

1. The reverse of the raising.
2. Make sure to perform the lowering under control.
3. Utilize full range of motion
