Pioneer Fitness Hip Hop Band - Level 0

From Pioneer:

"AKA the Hoopy Loopy Butt Band Thingy!

Everyone needs a booty band nowadays. These things were originally designed to strengthen your posterior chain. They also help as a mental cue for athletes to force their knees out while squatting enforcing
proper technique.

So when I figured out the lengths and build process, I knew it was a fit. Pretty much everyone has them… but the consumer grossly overpays for them as they are made out of inexpensive material and are very simple to produce. Ours are made with American-made elastic, leather patch from right here in Pioneer HQ, and built to our standards. The elastic in this initial offering is what we are going to call our “light” version. We can/will offer different strengths in the future."

A quick dynamic warm-up with the hip band could look like this:

• Position the hip band just above the knee
• Walk forwards (about 30m) keeping your feet straight
• Walk backwards (about 30m) keeping your feet straight
• A progression with walking would be a side-step motion pushing your legs forward and out to the side as you go
• Side steps (about 30m) keeping your feet straight
• A progression on side steps would be to do the movement in a semi-squat position (bent at the hips, keeping your chest up and back neutral)
• Squats (approx. 10-20) keeping knees out
• You can incorporate static squat holds too if you wish

Not only will using a hip band help improve mobility and thus help improve your form/position during your lifts it can also help improve performance. Read more about Post-Activation Potentiation here.
