Banded Kick Back Pulses
BANDED KICK BACK PULSES
The banded kick back pulses exercise is used to strengthen end range hip extension. Start by looping a mini band around both of your ankles. Begin to elevate the target hip’s foot off of the floor and stand on your opposite foot. Before starting, maintain a braced core to hold a neutral spine. Begin to extend the hip by kicking your foot behind you. Return back down a third of the way and extend the hip once more. Continue this for as many repetitions as needed.
