abduction with resistance band lying on back

Starting position

• Lie on your back, arms beside the body.
• Legs straight up, resistance band around the ankles.

Execution

• Move the legs apart to the sides against the band, as far as you can control.
• Hold briefly, close slowly.

Common mistakes

• Arching the lower back so it lifts off the floor.
• Letting the legs sink down instead of opening them sideways.
• Letting the band snap back.
