Return to standing by pushing your heels into the ground to drive yourself up and focus on engaging your glutes as you push up to standing, still with your knees parallel. Keep tension against the band using your glutes so that your knees stay parallel the whole way through. Stand chest upright and head facing forward and keep your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart so that you feel the tension in the band.īrace your abs and lower your bum back and down (as if sitting into a chair) keeping the weight in your heels and sink down into your squat. Place a small resistance band loop around your legs, just above your knees. To work the hip abductor muscles, perform hip abduction exercises three times a week. We practice this action every day while we walk to the side, get out of bed, and get out of the car. This is an incredible exercise for engaging the lesser-known gluteus medius - one of your three glute muscles - they work against the resistance band placed just above your knees to prevent your knees from buckling in against the band’s pull. Hip abduction exercises are necessary because they strengthen the muscles that secure the femur into the hip joint. To increase the challenge of this exercise, add ankle weights, hold a light dumbbell behind the knee, or use a quadruped hip extension if your gym has one. Also remember to keep your neck in line with your spine – straight (thus looking down) not up. It’s very important to AVOID arching your back. Lower back down and repeat for all reps before switching sides. Take your leg right and drive it upwards keeping the knee at a 90-degree angle throughout the movement and so the foot faces the ceiling and the hip, thigh and knee are all in alignment and parallel to the floor. Get on your hands and knees, keep your back neutral, and abs braced. This exercise must be performed sitting on a chair or a comfortable bench. And discovered that quadruped hip extensions otherwise known as leg raises or donkey kicks have proven to target the biggest muscles in our gluteus maximus and gluteus minimus as well as the hamstrings. This is one of the most successful abductor exercises to target the largest muscle of the body near the pelvis. The American Council on Exercise did a study out of the University of Wisconsin to find out which exercises were most effective at activating the glutes.
