Hip Extension

In this video Cindy is demonstrating standing Hip Extension.  This exercise strengthens the muscles in the buttocks and back of the thigh.

  • Stand with your feet flat on the floor, shoulder width apart
  • Move your leg straight backward from the hip
  • Keep the movement small
  • You should feel this muscle activity in your buttock, but not up into your back
  • Return the leg back to the starting position

Perform on both legs 5-10 reps 1-2x per day

The number of exercise repetitions and sets per day are just a suggestion and should be adjusted, as needed, to fit your fitness level and tolerance.
