Side-Lying Hip Abductor Strengthening With Ankle Weight

Description

‍You're lying on the side of the healthy leg, it's bent forward, the leg to be worked on is overhead, foot in contact with the floor and an ankle weight or foot in a kettlebell. You'll raise the outstretched leg towards the ceiling, keeping the foot as horizontal as possible against the resistance of the weight. Make sure not to arch the back or tilt the pelvis during the movement. Then slowly return to the starting position.
