Straight Leg Mini Band Abduction

This video demonstrates a simple exercise to train hip abduction using a mini band around the ankles. To perform the exercise, lie straight on the ground with your toes pointed upwards. Without rolling your body back, open up your legs. The intensity of the exercise will vary depending on the resistance of your band. You should feel the exercise on the outside of the glute and hip. Hold the position at the top for about two seconds before slowly returning to the starting position. Remember to do this exercise on both sides. This is a very simple way to train the outer portion of the hip for abduction.
