How to Do Hip Flexion and Extension With Band
The hip flexion and extension should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the hip flexion and extension with a band.

Hip Flexion and Extension Benefits
Hip extension exercises are vital since the glutes and hamstrings, which make up your hip extensor muscles, are significant movers in your body. Glute strength is important for pelvic alignment and lower back support. Running, walking, and jumping are all made easier with strong hamstrings.
