Hip Extension with Bands

Technique

How to perform Hip Extension with Bands

1. Secure a long loop resistance band or flat therapy band to a stable low anchor and around one ankle.
2. Face the anchor and hold its fixed support for balance, standing tall on the other leg.
3. Move the resisted leg backward from the hip while keeping that knee straight.
4. Stop before the movement requires your lower back to arch or your pelvis to turn.
5. Bring the leg forward under control against the band's pull.
6. Complete the movement on both sides.
