Glute Bands

Fire up the glutes from anywhere. Made from super-soft fabric, Glute Bands won't bunch, pull on hair, and basically make every move feel better (except the inevitable burn).IncludesThree (3) glute bands in three (3) resistance levels:One (1) Light, 35/70 lbsOne (1) Medium, 45/110 lbsOne (1) Heavy, 60/150 lbsOne (1) mesh storage bagFeaturesHelps build up glute and hip strength to improve posture, pelvic stability, and low back painIdeal for multiple moves, from squats to glute bridges to kickbacksSoft fabric won’t bunch on leggings or tug hair when next to skin3 levels of resistance (light, medium, heavy) to best challenge you as you get strongerSet comes in mesh storage and travel bag so you can take your workout anywhereEach band is adjustable for better fit and comfortIdeal for strength, cardio, and mobilitySuitable for all fitness levelsTested and trusted by athletes, fitness trainers, and physical therapistsEach band measures 12" x 3.5" x 3" Each band weighs 475 gHow to UseMove 1: Drop it like a squat: Seems simple enough only it’s not — once you loop the Glute Band of your choice around your knees, expect an intense challenge as you resist the resistance band with every repMove 2: Do the monster walk: Also called “crab walks,” this move not only strengthens your glute complex (glute maximus, glute medius, glute minimus) and your hip external rotators (the piriformis, the gemellus superior/inferior, the obturator internus/externus, the quadratus femoris, and yes, even the psoas major), it also works on the co-contraction of these muscles together as a unit. The result? Better control, coordination, and stability (especially for your pelvis, which is super important for anyone from athletes to new moms)Move 3: Get up in that glute bridge (or hip thrust): One of the most effective glute moves ever, glute bridges mostly target your glute maximus, but they’re also amazing at establishing lumbo-pelvic control and stability (translation: your core, spine, and hips work together and not against each other, which makes you stronger, more resilient, and less prone to tightness — feel free to geek out here). The standard glute bridge is an excellent go-to, just loop the Glute Band around your knees, lie on your back, maintain a pelvic tuck, and squeeze your glute up until you form a straight line from shoulder to knee. If you need a challenge, look belowMove 4: The classic side-lying leg lift: A mainstay for a reason, you’ll see this move in Pilates classes, prescribed in physical therapist’s offices, and added as an “activation drill” warmup before hitting up a more intensive class. The setup is simple — loop the Glute Band above your knees then lie on your side (prop up on your elbow for support) and lift your top leg up against resistance. Keep a tight core and don’t let your back round too muchCare InstructionsHand wash in cold water, hang dry
