Butt – Cable Standing Abduction with Long Resistance Band

Set Up:

Anchor: Secure the door anchor at the bottom of the door. Attach the band to the door anchor.

Bands:

Attach the band around the ankle stripe of your active leg.

Body Positioning:

Stand 3 to 4 feet away from door. Keep your back straight, head straight, chest up and active your core. Start with your active leg at a 45 degree angle with the floor.

Movement:

Push your active leg out (away from the anchor point) as high as you can. Slowly return to the starting position. Repeat.

Points To Remember:

1. Keep your active leg straight throughout the range of motion.

2. Visualize pushing the resistance band from your heel.

3. If needed, position a chair so that you can use it for stability.

Rule:

If you are able to do more than 10-15 reps, change to a heavier band.
