1m 48s
The Marching Band is a great move to improve your hip stability and fire up multiple muscle groups in your legs. Place your band just above your knees and lower yourself onto your back, knees bent comfortably. With your feet planted firmly on the ground, raise your hips until your front body is engaged in a straight line from your chest to your knees. Remember to keep some space in between your knees, feeling your quads and core tight for support. Next, extend one leg out with control and lower your hips to the floor. With your leg still extended, lift your hips again to the bridge position. Switch legs, staying grounded and keeping your front body activated throughout the full movement.
