Band Bent-Over Hip Extension

GlutesBandBeginner
Stand with both feet shoulder-width apart, with a resistance band securely positioned just above your knees. Begin by bending forward at the hips, keeping your back straight and parallel to the floor. Extend your right leg straight back, squeezing your glutes at the top. Return to the starting position and repeat with the left leg. Alternate legs for desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Band Bent-Over Hip Extension

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Band Bent-Over Hip Extension using your band.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your glutes.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your glutes rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
