Скачать или смотреть Want to improve your hip abduction? Non-kneeling edition

There is always more than one way to reach our goals.

We need to have good hip abduction (moving our leg away from midline) to
✅️ sit comfortably in a deep squat
✅️ sit comfortably with legs crossed
✅️ achieve side splits or pancake splits
✅️ strengthen glute medius (and take pressure off our knees)

We can start improving our hip mobility (in abduction) by incorporating one of these exercises into our routine 1-2 times weekly:

1️⃣ Side lying hip abductions at wall (3 sets x 5 reps/leg, holding each rep for 5 sec)

2️⃣ Supine straight leg hip abductions with band (3 sets x 5 reps, holding 3 each rep for 5 sec)

3️⃣ Hip abduction machine, moderate weight (3 sets x 5 reps, holding each rep for 5 sec)

Which one do you think you'll try???
