http://fitness.debrastefan.com Weighted Back Raise a.k.a. Hyperextensions - With a minimum weight, you can increase the training effect in performing slow, controlled repetitions targeting the entire backside of the body. You may need to anchor the feet, as the legs must remain down throughout the movement. Holding the weight behind the neck in a natural position will not strain the neck and does load the working muscles significantly when striving for sets of low, meaningful repetitions. Arm position alone can affect training intensity without adding further weight.
She had to have been, at some time, a track star or something like that. Her back and legs are awesome. I haven't tried that move... too tough.

Keeping the legs down is just as difficult as raising the upper body--even without weight. Great exercise, though and she does a nice job of explaining and showing how.

Most people don't think about doing this exercise because it is so hard to do even without weight, but WHOA... How effective it is!
