Exercise of the Month: Hip Extension with Barbell

This exercise is a fantastic way to get those hamstrings and glutes ready for summer!

1. Lie face up on a bench holding a barbell on your hips, with a wide grip.  Only your shoulders should be on the bench and your hips should be parallel to the ground.
2. Lower your hips towards the ground.
3. Explosively extend your hips towards the ceiling and return to the starting position.
