Hip Lift with Band Exercise
Builds strength and control by improving stability, coordination, and efficient movement.
Description
Hip lift with band focuses on controlled movement and maintaining proper body alignment throughout the exercise. The goal is to create tension where needed while avoiding unnecessary strain or momentum. This helps improve movement quality, joint stability, and overall physical control.
Instructions:
- After choosing a suitable band, lay down in the middle of the rack, after securing the band on either side of you. If your rack doesn't have pegs, the band can be secured using heavy dumbbells or similar objects, just ensure they won't move.
- Adjust your position so that the band is directly over your hips. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor. Your hands can be on the floor or holding the band in position.
- Keeping your shoulders on the ground, drive through your heels to raise your hips, pushing into the band as high as you can.
- Pause at the top of the motion, and return to the starting position.
Exercise FAQ
How can I make this exercise harder without adding a lot of weight?
Slow down the lowering phase, add a brief pause in the hardest position, or increase total reps while keeping form crisp.
What should I focus on to keep good form?
Move with control and keep your torso stable. Use a range of motion you can own, and stop the set if you need momentum to finish reps.
What’s a common mistake people make here?
Rushing reps and losing body position. Keep the movement smooth and repeatable so tension stays where you want it. Think of it as controlled movement done with repeatable, clean reps.
