Band Deadlift
Band Deadlift Instructions
- Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and the band looped around both feet.
- Grab the band with both hands, palms facing inwards, and bring it up to your hips.
- Engage your core and hinge at the hips, pushing your butt back and keeping your back straight.
- Lower the band towards the ground, keeping tension in the band throughout the movement.
- Once you reach the bottom of the movement, push through your heels and squeeze your glutes to return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
