Form tips
When lifting your hips, make sure to squeeze your glutes and engage your core. Many people make the mistake of using their lower back to lift their hips, which can lead to injury. The power should come from your glutes and hamstrings, not your lower back.
Move in a controlled manner, both on the way up and on the way down. Avoid the common mistake of rushing the exercise, which can lead to poor form and less effective muscle engagement.
Keep the band taut throughout the exercise. The band should be stretched when your hips
