Band Abduction

Hip Abductors Resistance Band

Description

The lying band abduction is an exercise targeting the abductor muscles of the hips and outer thighs. Individuals lie on their back with a resistance band looped around both legs just above the ankles, then push the legs upward against the band's resistance while keeping the hips stacked and core engaged. This exercise helps strengthen the abductor muscles, improve hip stability, and enhance overall lower body strength and function when performed with proper form and control.

How To

01 Lie on your back, band looped around your ankles
02 Prop yourself up on your forearms
03 Press your hips up, legs apart against the band
04 Squeeze your glutes and abductors at the top
05 Return slow, keep constant tension on the band
