Side Hip Abduction

Expert Advice

Keep your movements controlled and avoid using momentum to lift the leg; focus on the glute muscles doing the work.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie on your side with your body in a straight line and your head resting on your arm.
  2. Keep your bottom leg slightly bent for stability.
  3. Lift your top leg straight up towards the ceiling, leading with your heel.
  4. Lower the leg back down slowly to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other side.
