  2. 2 Place a resistance band around your ankles, ensuring it is taut but not overly stretched.
  3. 3 Engage your core and glutes, then slowly lift one leg straight back and up a few inches off the floor, keeping it straight and avoiding any arch in your lower back.
  4. 4 Hold briefly at the top, focusing on squeezing your glute.
  5. 5 Gently lower your leg back to the starting position, maintaining control and keeping tension in the band.
  6. 6 Repeat on the same side for desired repetitions or alternate legs.
