Unilateral Iliopsoas Strengthening With Elastic Band

Description

Lie on your back with an elastic band around your feet. Lift your legs in the air with your knees and hips bent at 90°. You will extend one leg while keeping the opposite leg bent against the resistance of the band. Then slowly return to the starting position. You should feel the abdominals and the hip flexors on the side of the leg that remains bent working during the exercise. Make sure not to extend the hip on the working side and avoid excessively arching the lower back.
