The Hip Band is a durable, ring-stitched, elastic fabric band with internal non-slip rubberizing. Placed above the knees, it is used as a complementary tool in hip flexion and extension exercises, especially squats and hip thrusts, in order to achieve greater activation of the gluteus minimus and the tensors of the fascia lata (hence the name).<\/p>\n
Especially when performing squats with high overload, the use of an elastic band, placed above the knees, to be extended by pushing outwards, also helps the user to correct the recurring error of bringing the knees together, leading the legs to assume an incorrect 'X' position.<\/p>\n
