Supine Hip Abduction with Resistance Band
Before starting the exercise, it's recommended to find a flat surface, such as a yoga mat, to perform the exercise on.
Instructions:
- Lie on your back on the floor with your legs extended, and securely wrap the resistance band around your ankles.
- Activate your core muscles by drawing your belly button towards your spine and pressing your lower back into the floor.
- Keep your arms relaxed by your sides, with your palms facing down.
- Initiate the movement by gently pressing your legs apart against the resistance of the band, opening your thighs and abducting your hips.
- Focus on engaging the hip abductor muscles and maintaining control throughout the movement.
- Pause briefly at the end of the abduction, allowing yourself to feel the contraction in your outer hips.
- Slowly bring your legs back together, while maintaining tension on the resistance band.
- Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions, being mindful of maintaining proper form and control.
