How to do the Band Standing Hip Flexion
Secure one end of the band to the lower portion of a post and attach the other to one ankle.
Face away from the attachment point of the band.
Keeping your head and your chest up, raise your knee up to 90 degrees and pause.
Return the leg to the starting position.
Sets and reps
| Goal | Sets | Reps | Rest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muscle growth | 3–4 | 8–12 | 1 min |
| Muscular endurance | 2–3 | 15–20 | 1 min |
When you hit the top of the rep range on every set, add a rep or a harder variation next session.
Starting points from training research. Stop each set 1–3 reps short of failure.
Muscles worked
