How to: Resistance Band Hip Thrust
- Anchor the resistance band around a stable surface and loop it under your hips.
- Sit on the ground with your upper back against a bench or low stable surface.
- Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
- Pushing through your heels, lift your hips upward until your body forms a straight line from shoulders to knees.
- Pause for a moment at the top, then lower back down to the starting position.
Common Mistakes
- Not pushing through the heels.
- Overarching the back instead of using the glutes.
- Not fully extending the hips at the top.
Modifications
- Perform without resistance if new to the exercise.
- Use a lighter resistance band for beginners.
Tips
- Ensure the resistance band is securely anchored.
- Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise.
- Don’t hyperextend your back at the top of the thrust.
