Exercise Description

The banded hip thruster builds stronger, rounder glutes while adding resistance band tension. Perfect for targeting your butt muscles at home.

How To

1. Lie on your back with knees bent, feet flat on floor, resistance band around your thighs just above knees. 2. Squeeze your glutes and drive your hips up toward the ceiling, pushing against the band resistance. 3. Hold the top position for 1-2 seconds, keeping your core tight and glutes fully contracted. 4. Slowly lower your hips back down to the starting position while maintaining tension in the band. 5. Repeat the banded hip thruster movement for desired reps, focusing on squeezing glutes at the top.

Form Tips

• Keep your core engaged throughout the entire banded hip thruster movement to protect your lower back. • Drive through your heels, not your toes, to maximize glute activation. • Don't let the band snap your knees together - control the resistance both ways. • Focus on the banded hip thruster squeeze at the top rather than speed.

Common Mistakes

• Arching your back too much instead of using your glutes to drive the banded hip thruster movement. • Letting the band control your knees instead of maintaining proper knee alignment throughout. • Moving too fast and losing the tension that makes banded hip thrusters effective.
