How to do the band hip lift

  1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
  2. Place a resistance band just above your knees.
  3. Engage your glutes and core muscles.
  4. Press your heels into the ground and lift your hips off the floor, squeezing your glutes at the top.
  5. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your hips back down to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Sets and reps

Start with 3 sets of 10–15 reps, resting 45–60 seconds. When every set feels easy, add reps, slow the lowering phase or move to a harder variation.

Muscles worked

The main muscle is the glutes. The hamstrings and quadriceps work as secondary muscles. See all glute exercises or every resistance band exercise.
