How To Perform The Banded Hip Extension

This exercise targets your hamstrings, glutes, lower back muscles, with some additional activation from your abs.

1. Keep your ribs pulled down and abs tightly braced to keep your lower back from arching.
2. Push your hips back until you get a light stretch in your hamstrings.
3. Return upward and lock your hips out while tucking your tailbone downward between your knees.
4. Don't let your lower back arch during the movement.
