Hip Extension HK-stance Tips

  1. Focus on proper alignment: Start by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart and your toes pointing forward. Engage your core by gently drawing your belly button in towards your spine. This will create a stable base for the exercise and help you maintain good form throughout.
  2. Initiate the movement from your glutes: As you begin the hip extension HK-stance exercise, imagine your glutes as the primary movers. Squeeze your glutes and think about driving your hips forward and upward. This will help you engage the right muscles and maximize the benefits of the exercise.
  3. Maintain a neutral spine: Throughout the movement, it’s crucial to keep your spine in a neutral position. Avoid arching your lower back excessively or rounding your shoulders forward. Imagine a straight line running from the top of your head to your tailbone, and strive to maintain that alignment.
  4. Control the movement: Remember that quality is more important than quantity. Avoid using momentum to swing your leg up and instead focus on controlled and deliberate movements. This will ensure that your glutes are effectively targeted and help prevent any strain or injury.
  5. Progress gradually: If you’re a beginner, it’s important to start with a manageable range of motion and gradually increase it as you get stronger and more comfortable with the exercise. Don’t push yourself too hard too soon. Listen
