The reverse hip raise increases muscular strength and endurance in the lower back, glutes, and hamstrings. This exercise also improves core stability.
Instructions
Lie facedown on the edge of a Roman chair so that your legs dangle to the ground. Hold the other end of the Roman chair with your hands.
Brace your core and lift your legs in the air with knees together. Your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your feet. Pause, then return to the starting position.
Trainer’s Tips
Do not use any momentum. Slowly raise and lower your legs.
Make sure you lift the legs with the glutes.
Do not hyperextend the lower back at the top of the repetition.
