Hip Extension (Traction)
Perform this movement by placing a band around your leg, all the way up to your butt crease, and create tension in the front of your hip socket. Then move into a lunge and press your body forward while engaging your glutes. This movement improves hip extension, low back pain, hip pain, and knee pain.
