This month on Trainer Tip Tuesday we will be discussing considerations when you are using the hip extension machine. The hip extension machine can be one of the best ways to target your glutes and strengthen and tone your butt muscles. However, there are some things to keep in mind to make sure you get the results you desire from this machine.

The hip extension machine is often thought of as something you can just hop on and use without much consideration, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, there are a number of details to be aware of that can change how effective and safe the exercise is.

One thing that must be considered when using this machine is where you are setting the back pad. Not only will this impact the results you get from using this machine, but putting it at the wrong spot may also increase your chances of hurting yourself while doing this exercise.

Check out all of the details in this week’s episode of Trainer Tip Tuesday, and be sure to tune back in next week as we discuss more considerations when using the hip extension machine.
