Band Good Morning (Pull Through)

Band Good Morning (Pull Through) is an exercise that focuses on strengthening the muscles of the lower body, particularly the glutes and hamstrings. It is performed by looping a band around a post and looping the opposite end around the neck. From there, the exercise is performed by bending at the hips and driving through with the hips to return to a standing position. This exercise should be performed with control and with the back flat and knees only slightly bent.

1. Take the band and loop it around a post. Make sure it is secure and won’t slip off.
2. Stand a little ways away from the post and bring the opposite end of the band around your neck. Use your hands to hold the band in place.
3. Bend at the hips, pushing your butt back as far as you can. Keep your back flat and bend forward until your upper body is at about a 90-degree angle. Your knees should be slightly bent.
4. To return to the starting position, drive through with your hips and push yourself back up to a standing position.

1. Make sure to choose a sturdy post to loop the band around to ensure it does not come loose during the exercise.
2. When looping the band around the neck, be careful not to pull too tightly or put excessive pressure on the neck.
3. Before starting the exercise, ensure that the band is securely in place and will not slip or come undone during the movement.
4. Keep your back flat throughout the exercise to maintain proper form and prevent strain or injury.
5. Do not bend forward beyond 90 degrees to avoid putting excessive strain on the lower back.
6. Engage your glutes and hamstrings to drive through with the hips and return to a standing position.
7. Avoid using excessive momentum or jerking movements to perform the exercise. Instead, focus on using controlled and smooth motions.
8. If you experience any pain or discomfort during the exercise, stop immediately and consult with a healthcare professional.
9. Start with a lighter resistance band and gradually increase the tension as you become more comfortable and proficient with the exercise.
10. Always listen to your body and only perform the exercise to a level that feels challenging but not painful.
