Elastics Pull Through Overview

The elastic pull through workout is a targeted exercise that primarily engages the glutes and lower back.

By using elastics, the workout adds resistance to strengthen and tone these specific muscle groups.

Elastics Pull Through Instructions

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and your core engaged.
  2. Hold an elastic band with both hands, palms facing down, and place it behind your head, resting it on your upper back.

  5. Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement, feeling the stretch in your triceps.

  7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Elastics Pull Through Tips

  1. Start by choosing the right resistance band for your fitness level. A band that is too light won’t provide enough challenge, while a band that is too heavy can compromise your form. Aim for a band that allows you to perform the exercise with proper technique, feeling a moderate level of resistance in your glutes and lower back.
  2. Before beginning the exercise, ensure that you have a strong and stable base. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, toes pointing forward, and engage your core muscles. This will help you maintain balance and stability throughout the movement, allowing you to better target your glutes and lower back.
  3. As you pull the band through your legs, focus on engaging your glutes and lower back muscles. Imagine squeezing your glutes together and pulling your lower back muscles towards your spine. This conscious engagement will help you activate these muscles more effectively, leading to better results and improved form.
  4. Keep your movements controlled and deliberate throughout the exercise. Avoid rushing or using momentum to pull the band. Instead, focus on maintaining tension in the band and feeling the resistance in your glutes and lower back with each repetition. This slower, controlled approach will maximize the effectiveness of the exercise and prevent injury.
  5. Finally, don’t forget to breathe! Inhale deeply as you prepare for the movement, and exhale as you pull the band through your legs. Breathing properly will not
