Oyster Hip Abduction Tips

  2. Place your bottom arm under your head for support and keep your top arm resting on your hip.
  3. Engage your core and squeeze your glutes as you lift your top leg up towards the ceiling.
  4. Focus on using your abductor muscles to lift your leg, rather than relying on momentum or swinging.
  5. Keep your leg straight throughout the movement and avoid bending your knee.
  6. Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, feeling the contraction in your abductor.
  7. Slowly lower your leg back down to the starting position, maintaining control and avoiding any sudden drops.
