How to do a hip abduction with lift

  1. Lie on your side with your legs stacked and extended straight, resting your head on your lower arm and placing your top hand on the floor for support.
  2. Engage your core to keep your hips stacked and your body in a straight line.
  3. Lift your top leg upward as high as you comfortably can, keeping it straight and your toes pointing forward.
  4. Pause briefly at the top, feeling the contraction in your outer hip and glute.
  5. Lower your leg back down with control to the starting position.
  6. Complete all reps on one side, then switch to the other side.

Form tips

  • Keep your hips stacked and avoid rolling forward or backward.
  • Lift with your hip and glute, not by swinging the leg.
  • Maintain a straight leg and controlled tempo throughout.
