Abduction with Resistance Band
Tie the resistance bands securely around each ankle. Lie on your side resting your body on your left elbow and placing your left arm forward to keep your body stable. Keep both feet together.
Concentric contraction: Breathe out. Abduct the hip of the right leg, moving it upwards and allowing it to push against the resistance band.
Eccentric contraction: Breathe in. After a short pause commence the downward movement, controlling the movement using the abductors. Repeat until the desired repetitions are completed.
