Exercise Profile

Resistance Band Sitting Hip Abduction Overview

The sitting hip abduction workout utilizes a resistance band to target the abductor muscles.

The resistance band provides external resistance, intensifying the workout and engaging the abductor muscles effectively.

By sitting on a chair or bench and attaching the resistance band to the ankles, the abductor muscles are isolated and worked out.

The resistance band allows for controlled and focused movements, primarily targeting the abductor muscles without overworking auxiliary muscles.

Resistance Band Sitting Hip Abduction Tips

  1. Start by sitting on the edge of a sturdy chair or bench, keeping your back straight and your feet flat on the floor.
  2. Place the resistance band just above your knees, ensuring it is secure and not too tight or loose.
  3. Engage your core muscles and maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise, focusing on stability and control.
  4. With a slow and controlled movement, gently press your knees outwards against the resistance of the band, feeling the burn in your abductor muscles.
