Band Standing Hip Extension
The standing kickback against a band looped around the ankle and anchored low in front; the band pulls hardest as the leg reaches back.
How to do it
Setup
Facing a low anchor with the band around one ankle, hands on the rack, standing on the other leg.
Steps
- Drive the banded leg straight back from the hip.
- Hold the end position with the glute squeezed.
- Let the leg return slowly against the band; finish the leg, switch.
Common mistakes
Arching the lower back to reach further: the glute ends the range. Letting the band snap the leg forward: control the return. Leaning on the rack: the hands only steady you.
Breathing
Exhale on the sweep, inhale returning.
