How to: Band Standing Hip Extension
- Attach the resistance band to a low anchor point.
- Stand facing the anchor point with the band looped around your ankle.
- Keep your standing leg slightly bent and engage your core.
- Slowly extend your leg backward, maintaining tension in the band.
- Hold briefly at the top, then slowly return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using too much momentum instead of controlled movement.
- Not keeping the core engaged, leading to back strain.
- Letting the knee bend too much during the extension.
Modifications
- Decrease the resistance of the band for a gentler exercise.
- Perform the exercise with a shorter range of motion.
Tips
- Maintain a steady tension on the band throughout the movement.
- Keep your core engaged to avoid arching the lower back.
