Target Muscles
Instructions
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and your heels on the floor. Keep your feet hip-width apart. Put the elastic band on just above the kneecaps, taking care not to pull it too tight and not allowing the knees to touch or come into contact with each other.
- Tighten your abs and plant your heels on the floor, lifting your hips up. Finish the movement by tensing your glutes, being careful not to engage your lower back as you return to the starting position.
Tips
- Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement for a full contraction.
- Press your knees against the band at all times. Avoid letting your knees go in.
- Avoid hyperextension of the lower back at the top of the movement.
