Back extensions, hyperextensions, Roman chair extensions — whatever you want to call them, this back exercise is brilliant at strengthening the muscles along the back of your body, known as the posterior chain, plus your core.
If you don’t have a gym handy, you might think you can’t perform the move. After all, you mostly see the back extension performed on the GHD machine or similar in the gym, which elevates your body away from the ground. However, as any Pilates enthusiast will already know, you can roll out one of the best yoga mats and perform the bodyweight back extension just about anywhere.
