The Band Pull Through is an effective exercise for targeting the posterior chain, especially the glutes and hamstrings. It involves hip hinge movements while pulling a resistance band through the legs to engage and strengthen the lower back and gluteal muscles.

How to do it

  1. Attach a resistance band to a low anchor point behind you.
  2. Stand facing away from the anchor, straddling the band between your legs.
  3. Grip the handles with both hands, and step forward to create tension.
  4. Perform a hip hinge, keeping your back straight, and push your hips back.
  5. Drive through the heels to extend your hips and return to standing.
