1. Start with a light weight, focusing on the gluteus medius (outer glute) and slowly contract and relax. 2. Do not lean your upper body; you need to keep your core tight for the stimulation to effectively reach the hips. 3. Do not use momentum; hold the contraction at the end point for 1-2 seconds. 4. If you twist your pelvis with excessive weight, it puts strain on your lower back -> prioritize control over weight.
