Hip Extension With Bands
This exercise uses resistance bands to strengthen and tone the hip muscles.
Instructions
- Secure the band around both ankles.
- Stand tall with feet hip-width apart.
- Shift weight to one leg, keeping a slight bend in the knee.
- Extend the opposite leg straight backward, keeping the core engaged.
- Return the extended leg to the starting position without placing it on the ground.
- Repeat the desired number of repetitions and switch legs.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not engaging the core, which can lead to lower back strain.
- Allowing the standing knee to lock, causing instability.
- Swinging the leg rather than controlled movements.
