Hip Extension with Bands

Great for home or gym, this move builds strength where it matters — in the glutes. Keep the motion smooth and avoid swinging.

Instructions

1. Anchor a resistance band to a low post and secure the other end to your ankle.
2. Stand tall, facing the anchor point, and brace yourself with your hands.
3. Extend your leg straight back, keeping the knee locked and hips square.
4. Squeeze your glutes at the top, then return slowly to the starting position.
