How to: Band Hip Lift
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
- Place the band around your thighs, just above your knees.
- Press your feet into the ground and engage your core.
- Lift your hips towards the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top.
- Lower your hips back down without touching the ground, and repeat.
Common Mistakes
- Arching the lower back instead of engaging the glutes.
- Lifting too high, which can strain the back.
- Not keeping the tension on the band throughout the lift.
Modifications
- Perform the exercise with a lighter band for beginners.
- Use a stability ball or a bench for added support if needed.
Tips
- Focus on squeezing your glutes at the top of the lift for maximum activation.
- Maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise to avoid injury.
- Engage your core to keep balance and maintain form.
