Ball Assisted Lying Supine Hip Adduction
Lying flat on the back with straight legs, squeeze a stability ball between the ankles, release a little and squeeze again.
How to do it
Setup
On your back, legs straight, a stability ball held between the ankles, arms at the sides.
Steps
- Squeeze the ball with the inner ankles and thighs.
- Hold the squeeze for a beat.
- Ease off without letting the ball drop, then repeat.
Common mistakes
Letting the ball roll out: keep a little squeeze between reps. Lifting the heels off the floor: the legs stay down. Rushing the squeezes: slow and firm.
Breathing
Exhale on the squeeze, inhale easing off.
