Trainer Tip Tuesday

What Should You Be Thinking About When You Do Hip Extension?

This month on Trainer Tip Tuesday we will be discussing considerations when you are using the hip extension machine. The hip extension machine can be one of the best ways to target your glutes and strengthen and tone your butt muscles. However, there are some things to keep in mind to make sure you get the results you desire from this machine.

The hip extension machine is often thought of as something you can just hop on and use without much consideration, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, there are a number of details to be aware of that can change how effective and safe the exercise is.

One thing that must be considered when using this machine is what you are thinking about when you are performing the exercise on the hip extension machine. Most people focus on the wrong things – such as moving the weight or trying to go “full range” – when doing this exercise. However, by simply shifting your focus to something else, not only can you get better results from using the hip extension machine, but you can stay safer while you are using it, too.

Check out all of the details in this week’s episode of Trainer Tip Tuesday, and be sure to tune back in next week as we discuss more considerations when using the hip extension machine.
