How to do Bodyweight Hip Abduction
- Lie on your side on a mat with your legs stacked, your bottom arm extended under your head for support.
- Stack your hips squarely on top of each other and bend the bottom leg slightly for stability.
- Keep the top leg straight with the toes pointing slightly forward and your foot flexed.
- Lift the top leg straight up toward the ceiling in a smooth, controlled motion.
- Stop when you feel a strong contraction in the side of the hip — usually around 30 to 45 degrees.
- Lower the leg back down slowly without letting it touch the bottom leg, then repeat for reps.
