Lift your body off the ground by pushing your hips upward, creating a bridge. Your weight should be supported by your forearm and the side of your bottom foot.
Once you've stabilized your body, raise your top leg as high as you can, keeping it straight. This is the hip abduction part of the exercise.
Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower your leg back down to meet the other.
Lower your hips back to the floor to complete one repetition. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of reps, then switch to the other side.
Pro Tip
Engage Your Core: Before lifting your hips off the ground, engage your core muscles. This will help to stabilize your body during the exercise and prevent any unnecessary strain on your back. Remember to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise. Controlled Movement: When lifting your top leg, ensure the movement is slow and controlled. Avoid jerky or rapid movements as they can lead to muscle strain or injury. Keep Your Body Straight: A common mistake is to allow the body to sag or bend at the waist during the exercise. To avoid this, imagine a straight line running from your head to your feet and aim to maintain this alignment throughout the exercise. Don't Rush: This exercise is not about speed
