Gluteus Medius Strengthening: Pelvic Drop on Step

Description

You are standing perpendicular to a step (or a stair), with the foot of the leg to be worked on placed on the step, while the other foot is hanging in the air. Your hip is tilted towards the leg in the air, so that the foot is as low as possible. While keeping your legs straight, you will tilt your hip towards the leg on the step, so that the foot rises above the step. Then slowly return to the starting position.
