Glute Stretch (Band)

A static stretching exercise that targets the gluteal muscles using a resistance band to increase flexibility and reduce muscle tension.

Instructions

1. Lie on your back with both knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
2. Bring one knee up toward your chest and loop a resistance band around your foot.
3. Hold the other end of the band with your hands to gently pull your leg.
4. Keep your lower back in contact with the floor throughout the stretch.
5. Pull your knee across your body toward the opposite shoulder to deepen the stretch.
6. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds without bouncing.
7. Relax and repeat on the other leg.

Tips

• Perform this stretch when your muscles are warm, such as after a workout.
• Go only as far as comfortable; do not force the stretch.
• Breathe deeply and relax throughout the stretch.
• This stretch is particularly effective for releasing tension in the glutes.
• Perform equally on both sides for balanced flexibility.
