Resistance Band Seated Hip Abduction
Muscles involved
Incorporating the resistance band seated hip abduction into your training split will completely transform the stability of your lower body. When you directly isolate your glutes using a resistance band, you create a constant tension that is hard to replicate with standard free weights. By adding this movement to your regular programming, you will quickly notice stronger support and much better alignment through your hips when performing heavy compound lifts. Beyond the visual tone, this movement provides a massive boost to overall hip integrity, helping you move better and prevent unwanted discomfort. You will feel a deep burn that yields real, lasting results.
How to do it
1. Sit with the band around your legs just above your knees. 2. Open your knees outward, keeping your feet on the floor. 3. Hold for one second at the point of maximum opening. 4. Return slowly, preventing the band from closing your legs abruptly.
