Açıklama
The Frog Reverse Hyperextension is a variation of the reverse hyperextension performed in a frog position, isolating the gluteus maximus in external rotation with the heels pressed together. Performed lying face down, this movement involves lifting the legs upward in a frog position where the feet are joined and the knees are spread apart. This position provides a different activation pattern for the glute muscles, specifically targeting the upper fibers of the gluteus maximus and the gluteus medius. It ensures glute isolation while placing minimal stress on the lower back. It can be performed on a bench or a yoga mat. It is a practical and effective exercise for glute shaping and activation.
Adım Adım Talimatlar
- 1
Lie face down on the floor or a bench, placing your arms under your head or by your sides.
- 2
Press the soles of your feet together and open your knees out to the sides to form a frog position.
- 3
Engage your core and keep your back in a neutral position.
- 4

- 5
Squeeze your glutes for 1-2 seconds at the top of the movement.

Ensure you do not arch your lower back throughout the movement, lifting solely from the hips.
Önemli Noktalar
- ✓The soles of the feet must remain pressed together throughout the movement.
- ✓Knees should be open to the sides, with the hips in external rotation.
- ✓The movement must initiate from the glutes, not the lower back.
- ✓The glutes should be fully squeezed at the peak position.
- ✓The back must remain in a neutral position without excessive arching.
Yaygın Hatalar
- ✗Excessively arching the lower back - engages the lower back and breaks glute isolation.
- ✗Lifting the legs too high - places unnecessary stress on the spine.
- ✗Separating the feet - alters the targeted muscle activation pattern.
- ✗Using momentum to perform the movement - prevents the glutes from working adequately.
- ✗Craning the neck upward - strains the neck.
Nefes Kontrolü
