Single Leg with Abduction
Before starting the exercise, it is recommended to find a stable surface or object to hold onto, such as a door handle, to support your balance and perform the exercise safely.
Instructions:
- Stand tall with one leg and slightly lift the other leg off the ground. Wrap a resistance band just above the knees.
- Initiate the movement by abducting the lifted leg, lifting it out to the side, while maintaining control and balance.
- Focus on engaging and squeezing the glute muscles of the standing leg as you perform the abduction.
- Pause briefly at the top of the movement to feel the contraction in your glutes and outer hip.
- Slowly and with control, lower the lifted leg back down to the starting position.
- Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions and then switch to the other leg.
Target muscles:
- Glutes, hip, core
