Resistance Band Pull Through

Resistance Band Pull Through

Description

This exercise involves using a resistance band to perform a pulling motion through the legs, targeting the glutes and hamstrings. The band is anchored behind the body and pulled forward through the legs while maintaining a slight bend in the knees and a neutral spine. It can be modified for different levels of resistance and is often used in lower body strength and conditioning workouts.

  1. Attach the resistance band to a sturdy anchor point, such as a pole or door handle.
  2. Stand facing away from the anchor point with your feet shoulder-width apart and the band looped around your waist.
  3. Take a few steps forward to create tension in the band.
  4. Keeping your back straight and your core engaged, hinge at the hips and lower your torso towards the ground.
  5. As you lower your torso, reach through your legs and grab the band with both hands.
  6. Drive your hips forward and stand up straight, pulling the band through your legs and squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement.
