Resistance Band Lying Hyperextension Abduction
Lying face down, lift both straight legs a little off the floor and open them apart against a looped band above the knees.
How to do it
Setup
Face down, forehead on the hands, legs straight, a looped band just above the knees.
Steps
- Squeeze the glutes and lift both legs slightly off the floor.
- Open the legs apart against the band, then close them.
- Lower the legs to the floor after the last rep.
Common mistakes
Lifting the legs high: the lower back arches; a small lift is enough. Bending the knees to open wider: the legs stay straight. Lifting the chest too: head and chest rest on the floor.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
