Movement instructions
Anchor a band around a solid post or other object.
Stand with your left side to the post, and put your right foot through the band, getting it around the ankle.
Stand up straight and hold onto the post if needed. This will be your starting position.
Keeping the knee straight, raise your right legs out to the side as far as you can.
Return to the starting position and repeat for the desired rep count.
Switch sides.
Technique guidance
Exhale as the target muscle shortens against resistance and inhale during the controlled return. Keep breathing steadily throughout the set.
General guidance based on the exercise and equipment. It is not personal coaching or medical advice.
Your progress
Keep the same bands setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing Band Hip Adductions sessions.
Weight, repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 3 sets of 8 reps at 30 kg. Next time, record the actual result, even if it is the same.
Look for more repetitions at the same weight, or a heavier weight for comparable repetitions. Total weight lifted also changes when you add sets, so it is not a strength score.
