How to: Banded Glute Ham Raise
- Secure the resistance band around the base of a sturdy object and attach the other end around your feet.
- Start in a kneeling position, with your feet anchored and body upright.
- Slowly lean forward, keeping your back straight while lowering your torso toward the ground.
- Engage your hamstrings and glutes to pull your body back up to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Lifting too quickly, leading to momentum rather than muscle engagement.
- Not maintaining a neutral spine position.
Modifications
- Perform with reduced resistance by using a lighter band.
- Do the exercise without resistance to build strength gradually.
Tips
- Focus on controlled movements to maximize muscle engagement.
- Keep the core tight throughout the exercise to maintain stability.
