Hip Extension & Front Raise Tubing Combination Exercises

Video Transcript

"We are back with upper and lower body exercises. Again, make a loop, place it around the ankle and make sure it is secure. We are going to b doing a hip extension exercise with a front raise. So we are going to be targeting with the hip extension the gluteus maximus and with the front raise the front deltoid. I am going to step on the tube and the leg that you are standing is going to be soft, knee slightly bent, start with the hip extension and you will feel the target for the gluteus maximus and then the front raise. In the front raise position the wrist needs to remain straight, you are going to turn the palms down to face the body rather than face down. What happens when we do face down is we do internal rotation and it could be injury to the shoulder if you do that over time and a lot of repetitions. So hip extension and a front raise, doing enough repetitions, usually 12 to 16, to fatigue the muscle groups. Usually the leg can go longer than the arms so you might do a couple extra repetitions with the leg and then add the arm or do the leg and then the arm or do it as a combination. The best thing is to mix it up all the time and you won't get bored with your exercise routine that way."
