Form tips
A common mistake is to push up using your lower back or hamstrings instead of your glutes. To avoid this, make sure to squeeze your glutes as you lift your hips off the floor. This will help to engage the right muscles and get the most out of the exercise.
Another common mistake is to let your knees cave in towards each other during the exercise. Keep your knees pushed out against the resistance of the band throughout the movement. This will help to engage your gluteus medius and maximus more effectively.
