My secret to using mini bands to your fullest advantage:
Don’t focus on the movement that brings the band in tension.
Focus on the movement that decreases the tension on the band instead.
Hug? Confused here?
I get you. It is a common training error.
I see it all the time both online & in the gyms; people working with mini bands and making it a dynamic aerobic like exercise with zero control. Unfortunately it is an (unconscious) mistake many make, especially those who don’t invest in a coach who teaches them the most effective way of training.
So, let’s look at it from this exercise example (shown above):
- which is great by the way for those who fail the single leg bridge TPI test - or want more stability & strength in the lower body - or need to stop swaying or sliding excessively in their golf swing.
The instructions here are to:
Come into an athletic posture: unlock knees, bring shoulders down and shoulder blades back and down, tilt your pelvis so your lower back is in a neutral position. engage the glute muscles by pressing into the ground.
Lift one foot of the ground and push it away to the side
Here comes the clue: RESIST the motion on the way back
so SLOWLY bring your leg back to the centre, instead of letting the mini band elastic pull it’s tension back to neutral. 
Repeat the lateral movement for about 15 times in a controlled manner and repeat on the other side
Maintain that athletic posture for the full sequence Have fun training!!
I can’t wait for you to dive into this exercise with your newly gained knowledge so you’ll experience that unfair advantage on the course!
