HOW: Anchor a band at hip height. Walk out as far as you feel comfortable facing away from the anchor and grab the band with both hands between your legs. Start in an upright, tall position. Hinge at the hips while keeping your back flat. Your hands will go in between your legs. Move your hips back and slightly bend your knees as the band pulls you down. Squeeze your glutes and return to the starting position using your back.
FEEL: You should feel your glutes, core, and hamstrings working.
COMPENSATION: Don’t arch your back during the exercise, keep it flat. Keep your neck in a neutral spine, don’t look down or up too excessively during the hinge. Don’t bend your knees too much as you hinge forward, let your low back and glutes do most of the work.
