The Lever Hip Extension is an exercise that targets the glutes and hamstrings. This exercise can be done with a lever machine at the gym or with a resistance band at home.
How to perform
Instructions:1. Start by setting up the lever machine or attaching a resistance band to a fixed point at around ankle height.
2. Stand facing the lever machine or the fixed point with the band attached to your right ankle.
3. Hold onto the machine or a stable surface for balance support.
4. Keeping your back straight, slowly extend your right leg back behind you, pushing against the resistance of the machine or band.
5. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement and hold for a second before gently lowering your leg back to the starting position.
6. Perform the desired number of reps on one leg before switching to the other leg.
7. Keep your core engaged throughout the movement to maintain stability and prevent arching or rounding of the back.
8. Breathe steadily throughout the exercise and focus on controlled movements to get the most out of the exercise.
Note: Make sure to start with a light resistance and gradually increase as you get stronger to avoid injury. Consult with a fitness professional before starting any new exercise routine.
Equipment required
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded)
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded) equipment is used for strength training exercises. It consists of a weight-loaded lever system attached to a seat or bench to provide resistance. These machines are designed to target specific muscle groups and allow for controlled and isolated movements to build muscle strength and mass. They are commonly used for exercises such as chest presses, squats, rows, and shoulder presses.
