1. Glute Bridges with Band:

   • Place the band just above your knees.
   • Lie on your back, bend your knees, and keep your feet flat on the floor.
   • Lift your hips towards the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top.

2. Lateral Band Walks:

   • Position the band just above your knees.
   • Stand with feet hip-width apart and perform side steps, maintaining tension on the band.

3. Clamshells:

   • Place the band just above your knees.
   • Lie on your side with knees bent, and open and close your legs like a clamshell while keeping your feet together.

4. Donkey Kicks:

   • Start on your hands and knees, and lift one leg towards the ceiling while keeping the knee bent.

5. Fire Hydrants:
