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 of the biggest things to consider when using the hip extension machine is where you place the footplate. This will have a direct impact on how the exercise feels and how your body responds to using this machine.

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.
