Can be both with creativity. Abs can do incline situps, back and glutes can do hyper extensions. I've even used it as a preacher setup/ Spider curl setup. If you know what you're targeting, and the natural motions, you can do a lot more with these tools than their primary intention. Best of luck, go get it!

That is for abs. There is a handle bar on the foot pads to grab onto and rest and get up when doing abs.
Its not for hyperextensions, you would be facing away from the handle bar, there is no foot plate to secure your feet, and the backrest would not allow to flex fully down to do a full ROM rep.
