Standing Hip Abduction
Expert Advice
Keep your body straight and avoid leaning to the side; this ensures that the movement comes from the hip abductors rather than momentum.
How-to-do Steps
- Stand with your feet together and hold onto a chair or wall for balance if needed.
- Lift one leg out to the side, keeping your toe pointed forward and your body upright.
- Raise your leg as high as you can without tilting your torso.
- Lower your leg back to the starting position with control.
- Complete all reps on one side before switching to the other leg.
