Resistance Band Standing Hip Abduction
In a quarter squat with a looped band above the knees, press the knees apart and let them back in, the feet planted throughout.
How to do it
Setup
Feet hip-width, a looped band just above the knees, hips back in a quarter squat, hands together at the chest.
Steps
- Push both knees out against the band.
- Hold the spread for a beat, feet flat.
- Let the knees return to hip-width, not past it.
Common mistakes
Standing up between reps: stay in the quarter squat. Feet rolling to their edges: the whole foot on the floor. Knees collapsing inward on the return: stop at hip-width.
Breathing
Exhale pressing apart, inhale returning.
