Engage hips by pushing knees outward against the band. Descend by bending hips and knees, maintaining a lifted chest. Lower until thighs are parallel to the floor. Drive through the floor to stand, squeezing glutes and keeping band tension.
To maximize hip engagement, actively push your knees outward against the resistance band throughout the entire movement, ensuring your hips are fully activated. Keep your chest lifted and avoid rounding your back to maintain a stable and strong posture throughout the exercise. Imagine spreading the floor with your feet as you drive upwards, which helps engage your glutes and provides a powerful return to the starting position. Remember to brace your core throughout the exercise to stabilize your spine and prevent lower back discomfort.
