Resistance Band Hip Thrusts On Knees is an exercise that targets the glutes, hamstrings, and hip flexors. It involves using a resistance band to add extra resistance to the movement.
How to perform
Step by step instructions:1. Begin by placing a resistance band just above your knees. Make sure the band is secure and will not slide or roll up during the exercise.
2. Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
3. Lean back slightly and place your hands on the floor behind you for support.
4. Engage your core and push your hips up towards the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement.
5. Hold the position for a moment before slowly lowering your hips back down to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
7. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can use a heavier resistance band or add more resistance bands.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to avoid straining your lower back. Keep your core engaged, and focus on using your glutes to lift your hips rather than relying on your lower back. Start with a lighter resistance band and gradually increase the resistance as you get stronger.
Equipment required
Band
Band equipment consists of elastic bands or tubes that provide resistance during exercises. They are commonly used to strengthen and tone muscles, improve flexibility, and increase range of motion. Bands are versatile and can be used for a variety of exercises targeting different muscle groups, making them suitable for strength training, rehabilitation, and physical therapy. The resistance levels can be adjusted based on the tension of the band, allowing for progressive overload and customization for individual fitness levels.
