How to do the Band Hip Adductions

  1. 1

    Anchor a band around a solid post or other object.

  2. 2

    Stand with your left side to the post, and put your right foot through the band, getting it around the ankle.

  3. 3

    Stand up straight and hold onto the post if needed. This will be your starting position.

  4. 4

    Keeping the knee straight, raise your right legs out to the side as far as you can.
