Loop-Band Standing Hip Abduction

1. Attach one end of a resistance band to a stable structure at ankle height, and the other end to your ankle.

2. Stand upright and hold onto the stable structure or another support for balance.

3. Shift your weight onto your inside leg.

4. Keeping your outside leg straight, raise it away from your body against the resistance of the band.

5. Move your leg out as far as you can while maintaining an upright posture, then slowly return to the starting position.

6. Remember to keep your movements controlled; don't let the band snap your leg back.

7. Perform the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching the band to the other ankle and repeating on the opposite side.

8. For optimal results, adjust the resistance of the band or the number of repetitions and sets according to your fitness level.

Remember to engage your core throughout the exercise to help maintain balance and stability.
