This month on Trainer Tip Tuesday we will be discussing tips and tricks for when you are doing hip extensions from an angled bench.

This is one of the most popular exercises done to build, strengthen, and tone the butt muscles; however, there are some intricacies that need to be kept in mind when doing this exercise to make sure it is effectively targeting your glutes and not stressing your low back.

One consideration that needs to be kept in mind is how far you are moving at your hips when doing this exercise. Many alleged experts and influencers will demonstrate this exercise by moving as far as their hips, low back, upper back, and even shoulders will allow them to; but this approach may actually be setting them (and you) up for injury!

So precisely how far should you move when you are doing hip extensions? That is exactly what we are discussing in this week’s video.

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 another consideration when doing hip extensions from an angled bench.
