Strengthening the “core” has become a trendy fitness topic in recent years. Core strength simply refers to the muscles in and around the abdominals and back and their ability to support the spine and keep the body stable and balanced.

The Apex Roman/Hyper Extension Bench helps you work the core more effectively and comfortably. It can chisel the abs, strengthen the lower back and improve posture by accommodating a wide range of focused exercises.

In the face up position your legs are held in place by supports, isolating the stomach and working more muscles by hyperextending the abdominals. The lower back can be worked in the face down position.

The bench is easy to put together and very sturdy on a heavy-gauge steel-tubing frame. Padded handles and high density deluxe boxed upholstery increase comfort.

The two-foam leg holders are adjustable vertically but unfortunately not horizontally — the distance from the foot bar to the chair pad is fixed. In addition, the relatively short handles make it more difficult to get into and out of position. The Apex is a very affordable option and many higher-end Roman chairs address these issues.

The Apex Roman/Hyper Extension Bench measures 43 1/2 x 28 x 38″, weighs 46 lbs. and comes with a 2-year limited manufacturer’s warranty on parts.
