Movement instructions
Secure one end of the band to the lower portion of a post and attach the other to one ankle.
Facing the attachment point of the band, hold on to the column to stabilize yourself.
Keeping your head and your chest up, move the resisted leg back as far as you can while keeping the knee straight.
Return the leg to the starting position.
Technique guidance
Exhale through the effort and inhale during the controlled return. Keep breathing steadily rather than holding your breath unintentionally.
General guidance based on the exercise and equipment. It is not personal coaching or medical advice.
Your progress
Keep the same bands setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing Hip Extension with Bands sessions.
Weight, repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 3 sets of 8 reps at 30 kg. Next time, record the actual result, even if it is the same.
Look for more repetitions at the same weight, or a heavier weight for comparable repetitions. Total weight lifted also changes when you add sets, so it is not a strength score.
