Instructions

Start by selecting an appropriate resistance band strength and securing it just above your knees.

Kneel on a bench with your hands placed flat on the surface for support, ensuring that your back is straight and core is engaged.

Extend one leg back and slightly to the side with the band around it, keeping the leg straight.

With controlled movement, raise the extended leg up and around in a half-circle motion, moving it towards the other side while keeping your hips square to the bench.

Slowly reverse the movement, bringing your leg back to the starting position while maintaining tension on the band.

Complete the desired number of repetitions with one leg before switching to the other leg.

Repeat for the desired number of sets.

Ensure to keep movements controlled and focus on using the glutes and hip muscles to perform the movement rather than relying on momentum. Adjust the resistance of the band as necessary to achieve effective muscle engagement while maintaining good form.
