Sit with your upper back resting against a bench, feet flat on the floor hip width apart and a resistance band just above your knees. Drive through your heels to lift your hips up into a hip thrust position, squeezing your glutes at the top. At the top of the movement, press your knees out against the band for your abduction, then bring them back together before slowly lowering your hips back down to the starting position. Keep your chin tucked, your core engaged, and focus on squeezing your glutes at the top of every rep.
