Lean forward at your hips until your torso is almost parallel to the floor, keeping your back straight and your knees slightly bent.
Slowly lift one leg straight out behind you, keeping your knee straight, until it is at about hip height, while resisting the pull of the band.
Hold this position for a few seconds, ensuring that your hips remain square to the floor and your back stays straight.
Slowly lower your leg back to the starting position, resisting the pull of the band, then repeat the exercise with the other leg.
Pro Tip
Control Your Movements: When extending your hip, make sure to do it in a controlled manner. Avoid swinging your leg back and forth rapidly; instead, focus on the muscle you're targeting. A common mistake is relying on momentum rather than muscle strength, which can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise and increase the risk of injury. Use the Right Band: The resistance band you use should provide enough resistance to challenge your muscles without causing strain. If the band is too light, you won't get much benefit; if it's too heavy, you risk injury. Engage Your Core: Keep your abdominal muscles engaged throughout the exercise to support your lower back and maintain balance
