How to do band hip abduction

Coach's Tips

Use a resistance band to lift your leg sideways, targeting the muscles in your hips.

Start Position

1. Begin by standing with feet at hip-width and grasp a resistance band with both hands.

2. Position the band’s center under your feet, and hold onto the handles next to your hips.

Proper Form

1. With feet firmly on the ground, gently extend your hands outward, engaging your hips and glutes.

2. Spread your hands until your arms are fully extended sideways.

3. Pause briefly, then slowly return your hands to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe in as you extend your hands outward.

2. Breathe out as you bring your hands back to the starting position.

Precautions

1. Keep your back straight and engage your core throughout the exercise.

2. Avoid arching your back or leaning forward excessively.

3. Keep your feet planted and maintain your weight balance during the exercise.

4. Don’t overextend your arms; focus on controlled and deliberate movements.
