A Banded Donkey Kick is a lower-body exercise targeting the glutes. By using resistance bands, it enhances muscle activation and strength, providing an effective workout for your backside while reducing joint stress.
How to Do A Donkey Kick Correctly
- Begin on all fours with hands under your shoulders and knees under your hips.
- Loop a resistance band under your knee and around your opposite thigh just above the knee..
- Keeping your core engaged, kick your leg back until aligned with your back.
- Feel your glutes activate and hold briefly at the top.
Common Donkey Kick Mistakes
- Avoid arching your back; keep your core tight.
- Do not move your upper body during the kick.
- Keep your foot flexed and don’t lift your leg too high, as this can stress your lower back.
