Band Hip Extension
Stand on a looped band and hold it in both hands, then hinge and stand; the band pulls hardest at the top, where the hips finish the extension.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on the middle of a looped band, feet hip-width, the band held in both hands at the thighs, knees soft.
Steps
- Hinge forward, hands sliding down to the knees.
- Drive the hips forward to stand as the band tightens.
- Squeeze the glutes at the top, then hinge again.
Common mistakes
Curling the band up with the arms: they stay long and only hold it. Band rolling out from under the feet: stand on its middle with the whole foot. Rounding at the bottom: the hinge stops where the back stays flat.
Breathing
Inhale hinging, exhale standing.
