Resistance Band Bent Leg Kickback Kneeling
Muscles involved
The Resistance Band Bent Leg Kickback Kneeling is a highly flexible movement that seamlessly fits into multiple phases of your workout routine. Place it at the beginning as a dynamic warmup to activate your glutes and hamstrings before transitioning to heavy compound lifts. Alternatively, use it at the very end of your leg day as an intense burnout exercise; the constant tension from the resistance band will force maximal metabolic stress into the targeted muscles. Whether you need to awaken underactive hips prior to squatting or push your lower body to failure before finishing, this exercise delivers outstanding targeted work.
How to do it
1. Get on all fours with the band around your foot or ankle. 2. Elevate your bent leg backward, keeping your hip stable. 3. Hold for one second at the maximum extension, squeezing your glute. 4. Lower with control and repeat before changing legs.
