Mini Band Glute/lower body Activation!

💬 “Should I have the band above or below the knee?

I get this question a lot from clients, so figured you have probably thought the same. Here’s my opinion: Is there a difference? Is one way better than the other?

🔸Firstly it depends on the strength & thickness of your bands.

🔸A thicker, stronger band will be more suited above the knee. Thinner band? Then it will be more effective below knee’s. So if you’re limited on band selection use this rule.

🔸Does band position change the body part you’re working? In my onion yes.

🔸I’ve found above the knee places more all-round tension in the quads and glute max (the large muscle which makes up the shape of your bum!)

🔸Below the knee you’ll feel it more in the glute med & adductors (think side of hips).

👩🏼‍💻I tend to programme the band below knee or grand ankles for lateral work such as side steps or leg raises and above knee for squats and hip thrusts.

But as we are all unique and different - where do you feel it most?

Experiment and see which one generates the most tension for you while also considering the function of your intended movement.

So what’s your preference, above or below knee?
