Lean slightly forward and shift your weight onto your left foot, keeping your core engaged and your back straight.
Slowly kick your right foot back, maintaining control and resisting the pull of the band, until your leg is fully extended behind you.
Hold the position for a few seconds, then slowly return your right foot to the starting position, fighting the resistance of the band.
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to your left leg.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: The key to this exercise is a controlled, smooth movement. Avoid the common mistake of kicking back too quickly or using momentum. Instead, focus on engaging your glutes as you slowly kick one leg back. Pause for a moment when your leg is fully extended, then slowly return to the starting position. Body Alignment: Keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise. Avoid arching your back as you kick back, a common mistake that can cause lower back pain. Range of Motion: Make sure to fully extend your leg during each rep to engage your glutes fully. However, don't extend it beyond a straight line with your body as this can strain your lower back.
