How to do it
Grip the band evenly with both hands to keep the load symmetrical.
- 1
Stand on the band with your feet hip-width apart, holding the other end with both hands.
- 2
With a slight bend in your knees, hinge at your hips and lower your torso until it's parallel to the floor.
- 3
Squeeze your glutes and hamstrings to return to the starting position.
Expert tip
Keep your back straight and hinge at the hips. This will protect your lower back and target the hamstrings and glutes more effectively.
Common mistakes
- ✕Bending the knees deeply during the descent
- ✕Letting the band pull the torso down fast
- ✕Rising onto the toes during the hinge
