3. Hinge at your hips and slightly bend your knees to lower your body forward, keeping your back straight and chest up.
4. Grab the resistance band between your legs with both hands, palms facing each other.
5. Engage your core and glutes, and exhale as you drive your hips forward and extend your hips until you are standing upright.
6. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement, making sure to keep tension on the band throughout the exercise.
7. Slowly return to the starting position by hinging at the hips and bending your knees, maintaining control over the movement.
