Loop the resistance band around your thighs, just above your knees, and ensure it's tight enough to provide resistance but not too tight to restrict movement.
Keeping your back straight and your hands on your hips or the sides of the chair for balance, begin to push your knees outward against the resistance of the band.
Hold the position for a few seconds, feeling the tension in your hip and thigh muscles.
Slowly release and bring your knees back to the starting position, ensuring you maintain resistance in the band throughout the movement. Repeat this exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: Slowly push your knees apart, stretching the band as you go. Ensure the movement is controlled and not jerky to avoid injury. A common mistake is to let the band snap back quickly after stretching it. This can lead to muscle strain. Instead, slowly release the tension on the band, bringing your knees back together. Engage Your Core: While performing the exercise, make sure to engage your core muscles. This will help stabilize your body and improve the effectiveness of the exercise. Avoid letting your stomach sag or your back arch. Proper Breathing: Remember to breathe normally during the exercise. Exh
