Key Cues

βœ… Keep your hips and pelvis relaxed and flat.

βœ… Hold your knee firmly in position against the resistance of the band.

βœ… Maintain steady tension throughout the entire hold.

βœ… Aim to feel a strong contraction through the back of your thigh.

βœ… Have enough tension on the band at the start to produce a contraction with the knee in extension

Common Mistakes

❌ Allowing the knee to move rather than holding a fixed position.

❌ Lifting or rotating the pelvis to compensate.

❌ Tensing through the lower back unnecessarily.

❌ Using more resistance than you can comfortably control.

❌Bringing the knee into flexion to feel the contraction
