Hip Abduction Standing

Video coming soon...

The hip abduction standing workout is designed to primarily engage the abductor muscles using bodyweight.

By standing upright and lifting one leg to the side, the bodyweight creates resistance for the abductor muscles.

This exercise targets the abductor muscles specifically, without overstating the effect on auxiliary muscles.

With proper form and controlled movements, the hip abduction standing workout effectively strengthens the abductor muscles.

Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms relaxed by your sides.
Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine.
Shift your weight onto your right leg while keeping your left foot flat on the ground.
Slowly lift your left leg out to the side as far as you comfortably can, while maintaining a straight posture.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, ensuring your left foot stays parallel to the ground.
Lower your left leg back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other leg.

Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, engaging your core for stability and balance. Imagine a string pulling you up from the top of your head, elongating your spine.
Shift your weight onto one leg, keeping a slight bend in the knee. This will be your supporting leg throughout the exercise.
Slowly lift your other leg out to the side, maintaining control and feeling the activation in your hip abductor muscles. Imagine your leg is a graceful pendulum swinging outwards.
Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, ensuring your hips stay level and your body remains stable. Focus on squeezing your abductor muscles to maximize engagement.
Lower your leg back down with control, returning to the starting position. Keep your movements smooth and controlled, avoiding any jerking or swinging motions.
