Hip Band - Dynamic Warm-up
We stock Pioneer hip bands in different levels so you can choose the right resistance level for you. Levels 0-3 are great for warming-up before squats and deadlifts while levels 4-5 are great for strength training.
A quick dynamic warm-up with the hip band could look like this:
- Position the hip band just above the knee
- Walk forwards (about 30m) keeping your feet straight
- Walk backwards (about 30m) keeping your feet straight
- A progression with walking would be a side-step motion pushing your legs forward and out to the side as you go
- Side steps (about 30m) keeping your feet straight
- A progression on side steps would be to do the movement in a semi-squat position (bent at the hips, keeping your chest up and back neutral)
- Squats (approx. 10-20) keeping knees out
- You can incorporate static squat holds too if you wish
